Pistou de Roquette
This recipe is a Provencal variation
on traditional Italian basil pesto, without the cheese. The rocket
(arugula), in place of basil, gives Pistou de Roquette a
savory and peppery taste, which adds a delightful flavor to foods.
You can enjoy this delicious savory Pesto (vegan
and for nut-free version, skip the almonds) with crusty bread & baguette
with sliced tomato, slather it into a panini with
a slice of vegan cheese, on sandwich breads with veggie or vegan burger, on
pizza & flatbread with your favorite toppings, in pasta, polenta &
risotto, on roasted potatoes, eggplant and much more.
You can make a delicious salad dressing by adding Meyer lemon
juice to the pesto and it makes a beautiful Vegan Hors D’oeuvres Platter
too.
This pesto is very easy to make and makes a delicious
culinary gift for family and friends too. So let's get started
with the recipe!
