Time for a short teaser… There’s a delicious recipe coming. For today it will be a short post introducing this homemade Arugula Basil Pesto. I want to serve you this recipe so you can try it before I release the next recipe. You’ll need this and will prefer a homemade pesto above a store bought one!
Those interested in what I’ve been doing lately might be interested in the following playlist I made. I attended Graspop Metal Meeting this year and made a spotify list with the some highlights. It was a verry wet edition with some highs and unfortunately some lows. Virgin steele and the drunken bastards of Raven were a serious let down. Satyricon, Anti-flag, Gojira and Rival Sons on the other hand put down a series of amazing gigs on saturday. Each in a different way. After Graspop I came back home and faced some terrible news at work. It made me realize life is precious and I should keep the ones I love even closer than before.
Arugula Basil Pesto
I’ve been practicing my photography skills lately. That’s one of the reasons I was lacking some time lately. I had some tasks for photography course and hope to get some good results soon. Besides I have been experimenting with a new style of editing. I hope to hear your thoughts on them. About the arugula basil pesto recipe there’s not that much to say! I wanted something different that’s why I opted for a mixture of basil and arugula. It’s delicious and a bit more peppery than the regular pesto. I baked the pine nuts to enhance their flavor and chose for a mixture of lemon, white wine vinegar and sushi vinegar to get a well balanced palate that ends up a little bit sweeter than the traditional pesto. I admit I only had a little bit lemon juice left so I picked the sushi vinegar instead. Since it lacked some punch I added some more white wine vinegar with good result.
