Graced with basil, red pepper and cucumber, a simple lentil salad is tossed with a vinaigrette. A perfect light dish for a hot afternoon. Today I have so much to do (partly for my class tonight) I will be brief
I am a huge fan of bruschetta, any style really, but especially fresh tomato, basil and garlic bruschetta. I wanted to turn some boring pieces of chicken into
Scrambled Egg Tomato Florentine Fritters - A summer fritter with fresh chopped tomatoes, spinach, basil, quinoa, and goat cheese, all held together with a scrambled egg.
In this classic version of pesto, the basil leaves are blanched in boiling water, then quickly shocked in ice water, to give the sauce a brilliant green hue and to reduce any bitterness.
There are few things I love more than bruschetta. The grilled, buttery bread...the beautiful tomatoes...the scrumptious basil. A perfect combination, and a perfect snack. Unless you eat twelve pieces like I do...and then it's more like a meal.
It is not every day that you get a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce that also boasts a healthy dose of antioxidants. Try it with beef, chicken, pork or even some grilled shrimp. Click here to visit the new home of KitchenDaily!
