Recipe Review Sundried tomato pesto - For Food's Sake page 30

Loved it!   I like the flavour addition of rosemary in there too.
I swapped quantities and used 60 g semi dried tomatoes, and 30g olives.



Made a 2nd batch, and blitzed through 150g cream cheese for dip.....yum.



Great stuff  :)

It looks lovely. Tenina's book has us all so busy.

I'm sort of hoping that no one releases another beautiful book for at least 3 months, so that I can make some forum recipes and also some family favourites  :D (mainly so I stop buying "unusual" ingredients as well - but I do enjoy it all as part of this crazy fun trialling new recipes)

I agree with you CP, there are only 3 books permanently out at the moment - the last 3 colourful recipe books.  My housekeeping has shot up though so that's the only downside.

Yes JD, I am having to be careful as our grocery bills have sky rocketed too. I try & use substitutes if poss, i.e. didnt have enough mushrooms for beef & ale pie so added the carrots to make up the weight. Probably wont have cherry tomatoes for another recipe so will used tinned.

I love my new TM books, plus I have a lot of new non TM books, so I dont need any more now.

This is delicious, just had a little taste on some crackers. Am going to make Jacket Potatoes and Pesto Sour cream p80, and Lamb Pesto Crusto with Gusto p95 for dinner tonight.
