Black Olive Pesto on Ani Phyo’s Sesame Bread
Well, this is the last day of June and tomorrow starts the very last month on this project! I am excited to almost be at the end of it. I counted the recipes and I think I have only 2 left in Everyday Raw and if I counted correctly I only have 5 recipes left in Entertaining in the Raw. I was busy helping Sabby with his homework while I was counting the remaining recipes, so I may be wrong. I am sure I will stretch out the recipes to try to keep this project going for an entire 365 days. If not, at least I can say that I did ALL the recipes. Maybe I will get some more dessert recipes:).
Tonight’s recipe was so delicious! I could have sat on the couch and ate the entire batch. I stopped myself because that would’ve caused me to feel very ill. We had chipotle burgers tonight and I put about 1 Tablespoon of the Black Olive Pesto on my burger with Ani Phyo’s Black Sesame Bread (which I made with white sesame seeds)! An absolute perfect meal together. I highly recommend this pesto. I am going to give my father some when he gets here. He is picking up a movie from us.
Black Olive Pesto Ingredients
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 1-2 hours and drained
1 cup pine nuts
2 cups kalamata olives, pitted
2 cups fresh basil leaves, packed
1 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup olive oil
Combine sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and olives in a food processor; pulse until chunky. Pour into medium bowl and set aside. Add basil, parsley, and olive oil to food processor; pulse to form a chunky pesto. Add basil mixture to bowl with sun-dried tomato mixture and mix well.
If you like Olives, you will absolutely love this recipe. I have to say it’s the best olive recipe I have ever made in my life!
Well, my father is here so, off I go!
