Radish Leaf Pesto

Dear Friends,

Fat camp is going OK.  I'm learning how to eat healthy and seasonal food.  Yesterday I made radish leaf pesto.  I thought I hated radishes, but I gave them a try anyways.  Here is the recipe in case you were wondering...

Radish Leaf Pesto

  • 2 large handfuls of radish leaves, stems removed
  • 30 grams of hard cheese, like pecorino 
  • 30 grams pine nuts
  • 1 stalk of wet garlic, or one clove garlic
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Then you just blend all the ingredients in a food processor.  And its done like - bingo, bango, bongo.


Tony Perkins said you can eat it with radish chips or thin it out with vinegar and oil and use it as a salad dressing.  Or you could make crepes with mushrooms and goat cheese and serve it like this...


It is surprisingly delicious.

In other news, it's been raining here so we haven't gotten to go off the blob yet.  But it was OK this morning and we went hiking.  I've also been doing arts and crafts. I will have to show you soon.  Hope all is well where you are.

Love,
Kelly

PS.  Send chocolate.
