Summer Days…
by girlinafoodfrenzy
Yesterday I spent my summers day indoors, doing precision cuts in culinary class. I Julienne, Jardienere, Macedone and Brunoise my vegetables until I had some perfect (and some not so perfect) delicate specimens. I’d never thought these possible, whilst yielding a gigantic Cook’s knife, but possible they were.
In lieu of that, I decided today’s lunch would definitely be frenzy free. The kind of lunch you wash, chop and blitz to yumminess. No I didn’t make soup, but Pea Pesto is not far behind it. With some Roquette, Chorizo, Golden Potatoes and Ricotta it was the nearly perfect, summers day dish…
Pea pesto? Can we have more details please? It sounds wonderful, I love peas!
Absolutely! The recipe for the pea pesto is in the subheading ‘recipes’. Also, the Honey Bread with 24 hr Biga starter is up too. Let me know if you have any difficulties finding it. Enjoy!
Found it, fantastic, thank you! I’m definitely going to make that in the summer when we have fresh peas. Delicious!
Chopping, a very handy skill! One of my daughters was a chef in the past, and we always make her do the chopping: she’s so fast!
Glad to see the humble pea can stir up some conversation! Yes, I think the only method to all that precision cutting is to blitz everything into oblivion! @almostnothingbutmusic, how handy that your daughter is a Chef!
Oops! I have foot in mouth disease. What I said didn’t come off right. Those precision cuts are a lot more difficult than “chopping.”
