    • Burrata Pesto Spread with Sun Dried Tomatoes

      Posted at 11:54 am by NativeNM, on August 20, 2019

      It’s been awhile since I’ve added a recipe.  My kitchen has been under construction since mid May which we estimated to complete over a couple month’s.  Sometimes well made plans don’t always work out though.  We fell behind schedule but hope to have the total remodel completed by the end of August.  Joe and I are doing a lot of the work ourselves with a little bit (actually big) help of a contractor who is helping to make it all happen.  I haven’t had my stove hooked up until recently but without a sink to clean up, I’ve been making do with a more simple menu, meals that don’t require a stove or extra dishes.   I shouldn’t complain though, it’s summer after all and most days I can grill outdoors.  This weekend I was inspired by a recipe from “Fork in the Kitchen” , a Burrata Pesto Tomato appetizer that was so visually appealing, I had to give it a try.  I tweaked the recipe so that it required no cooking and it turned out oh so good!  Once you taste the creamy burrata cheese with freshly made pesto and sun-dried tomatoes layered on soft french bread it’s hard to stop!

      Heirloom-Crostini-7

      I always make more pesto than I need for one meal so I have to come up with other ways to use it.  One of my favorites is Crostini’s with fresh mozzarella and chopped tomatoes.  I had a pint of heirloom tomatoes in the fridge and thought how colorful and pretty they would look propped up on a sliced french baguette.  They are the perfect companion to any pasta dish and a leafy salad which I’m working on for dinner tonight.

    • Arugula Pesto

      Posted at 10:04 am by NativeNM, on September 23, 2011

      There was a time not too long ago when I put arugula seeds into a little ceramic pot in my sun lit kitchen window.   I could grow a small amount of arugula, just enough to add a hint of taste here and there to a sandwich or salad.  But recently arugula has become available in all the grocery stores and I can enjoy it whenever I like.  It’s got a unique spicy taste that I love and has become one of my favorite pesto’s to make.  This arugula pesto sets the stage for upcoming recipes.  Hope you enjoy!
