First off, this recipe makes pesto for an army. We will be eating pesto for days. Secondly, it’s not actually pesto. I mean, if you define pesto as that lovely mix of basil, pine nuts and parmesan. Because this has none of those things. It’s dairy-free. It’s even pine-nut free and basil free. But I don’t think that’s something people worry about.<\/p>\n
Anyway. It was an experiment of sorts (like most of my cooking) because I had a shed load, no, not literally, of spinach that I needed to use up. And sometimes spinach is a bit… well, blah.<\/p>\n
This isn’t blah. This got the stamp of approval from the Other Half even. And he’s really not a big spinach eater…!<\/p>\n
This is the recipe for the whole batch load… You can smear it on… well, anything. I just chose to smear it on salmon filets and bake it in the oven for a half hour. But tomorrow it will probably go with chicken. And it was really good mixed in with the brown rice I cooked tonight. Monday might see it reappear in an omelette…. you get the idea!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
