Aioli

So simple, yet such a game-changer

I think of aioli as the spicier older sister to mayonnaise. Anywhere you would use mayonnaise, you can use aioli, and in my opinion, without regret.

Pea Shoot Pesto Recipe

Pea Shoot Pesto

Earthy delicious.

Pesto, to me, is one of the most versatile sauces. Wait, is it a sauce? Or is it a dip? I actually don’t know what I would classify it as, other than a combination of ingredients that have the possibility to be simply delicious.

As controversial as it may be, basil pesto, while very good, is not my favorite.

Have dried tomatoes? Make dried tomato pesto. Garlic scapes, stinging nettle, or in this case, pea sprouts… give it a try.
