Ann.without.an.e Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Harvested so much Basil today and that means - - - vegan pesto 💕 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Yay! My basil outdoors is struggling so much. But I have three plants indoors that are happy campers. I should make pesto. I also need to dry some of the leaves for my sauces in the winter when the plants are not as hardy. I do love fresh basil!! We put the leaves on homemade pizza along with spinach and red pepper and mushrooms. So yummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Basil alone is enough to keep me from an all meat plus salt diet 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catz Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Do you have a recipe? We are early season here on herbs/garden. I actually have to go drop some plants in today. But homemade pesto is THE BEST! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also used slivered almonds since I didn’t have pine nuts. https://minimalistbaker.com/easy-vegan-pesto-5-minutes/#wprm-recipe-container-34850 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) The domino effect was I found myself making gluten free French bread dough. ETA: to turn into flatbread Dough is rising. Will this be a flatbread for lunch or dinner? Also crazy random idea, how do you think thinly sliced golden beets would be on such a flatbread?

You can't say "GF French bread" and not share the recipe! There has to be a law against that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith-manor Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I can never fin pine nuts around here so I always have to substitute. Word to the wise: If you don't want your pesto to be ridiculously expensive AND highly addictive, put the jar of macadamia nuts down! Ask me how I know..... 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only French bread I’ve found that works good. It is also exceptional for pizza and flatbreads, etc. https://www.pamelasproducts.com/blogs/recipes/crispy-french-bread-bowl-1 I also love the regular loaf bread made with Pamela’s. I don’t buy the little bags though (too $$$). I buy it in bulk, so much cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann.without.an.e Posted May 24, 2023 Author Share Posted May 24, 2023 Also @Faith-manor it’s much cheaper on the Pamela’s site than Amazon https://www.pamelasproducts.com/products/pamelas-bread-flour-blend-25-lb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 I usually use walnuts in my pesto, I'm too cheap for all pine nuts. 🙂 I love the idea of migrating to making it with less parm as yummy as it is! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD made something with a lot of macadamia nuts once and then she calculated the cost and was floored. I think pine nuts are more $$$$ than those though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no choice since I have a dairy allergy. The vegan is good though. Trader Joe’s used to have a vegan that is good too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
