My husband and kids are out of town. I'm hanging with the dog, the computer, and a fridge full of leftovers. I'm hella relaxed. I haven't blogged in forever so I'm going to try to do a gazillion posts. Or maybe I'll just do one post and then sleep all weekend. Here goes round one...
These are arugula microgreens. These little babies are pulled out of the ground only a few days after they see the light of day.While they're delicate in texture, they have a very powerful flavor. Here's more about growing your own microgreens over at You Grow Girl (there really is a blog for everything).
I pulverized the hell out of them last week in another one of my late night pesto-making sessions. As some of you know, Bella is the pesto taste tester around here. She proclaimed this pesto the best ever. When she tasted it, she had just brushed her teeth with strawberry toothpaste, but I'd say she can be trusted when it comes to pesto.
The spicy arugula stands up well to the sharp gruyère, while the creamy goat cheese mellows it out a bit. This pesto is potent so a little bit goes a long way. Here's what I did with it over the past few days:
1. I made lemon/pesto vinaigrette. (Soak a diced shallot in 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Whisk in 1 tablespoon pesto. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons strong olive oil. The pesto emulsifies the dressing.)
2. I put it on pasta for Bella's lunch.
3. I stuffed it inside herbed mashed potato pancakes (recipe coming soon).
4. I spread it on bread topped with more microgreens.
THREE-CHEESE ARUGULA MICROGREENS AND SPINACH PESTO

printable recipe
Try any kind of microgreens that you want for this recipe or full-grown arugula. Or replace with intense greens like chard or mustard (blanched for a minute in boiling water).
1/2 cup pine nuts
2 cups spinach leaves, stems removed
2 cups arugula microcreens (or regular arugula)
2 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated or chopped
1/2 to 3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup gruyère, grated
1/4 cup mild and creamy goat cheese
1/4 cup parmesan, grated
juice from 1/2 lemon
big pinch of salt
a few turn of pepper
Toast the pine nuts in a pan or in the oven until they're lightly browned. Throw all ingredients (including the warm nuts) into the food processor. Blend until smooth. Or you can leave it a bit chunky. Taste for seasoning. Add more of whatever flavor is lacking. Store in the fridge for up to a week with a thin coating of olive oil on top to prevent browning. Or you can freeze it in an ice cube tray and then transfer cubes to a ziploc bag.
Beautiful pictures!! Enjoy your time out :)

He just dumped me after 3 years with no explanation. I contact Dr. OGEDEGBE through his Whats app number +2348109374702 and He told me me what i need to do before he can help me and i did what he told me to, after i provided what he wanted, he cast a love spell to help us get back together. Shortly after he did his spell, my boyfriend started texting me again and felt horrible for what he just put me through. He said that I was the most important person in his life and he knows that now. We moved in together and he was more open to me than before and then he started spending more time with me than before. Ever since Dr. OGEDEGBE helped me, my partner is very stable, faithful and closer to me than before. I highly recommends Dr. OGEDEGBE to anyone in need of help.

There were several HUGE fights and painful situations in our marriage, but we always seemed to come out stronger on the other side. Out of the blue my husband just sprung the divorce talk on me, I was totally depressed until I found Dr.Todd website online and I ordered for a Love spell. You won’t believe my husband called me at the exact time this spell caster finished his spell work in 48hrs. I was totally amazed! He is wonderful and his spells work so fast.
