The Pesto with Peas everyone should make this summer

Рет қаралды 134,089

Күн бұрын

This pesto uses less basil, drops the pine nuts, and adds a bunch of green peas. What results is a sweeter sauce that tastes really close to the original version except for its higher protein and lower fat. This pesto is perfect for whipping up pasta dishes, pizzas, or salads in no time.

Ethan you should try making a Dominican breakfast called “Mangú con Los Tres Golpes”. Mangu is a mashed plantain, and the three hits are the fried cheese, fried salami, and fried eggs. Traditionally this breakfast is topped with pickled onions. I think you would love it and would be interesting to see you take a shot at it.

Hey Ethan, i'm from Brazil and i would love you to try a classic dish from here Fried Cassava, AKA mandioca frita! It might be better then french fries becouse it is more crispy and also soft and creamy on the inside! It might be a bit hard to find raw non cooked cassava (witch is preferable), but if you do, here is the proceedure: Peel off the skin, give it a little rinse and cook it in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes or untill it's really soft and borderline mushy, and here is the thing: cassava has a higher starch content then potatos, does making it more dense and can be done to a consistance of mushiness and still hold integrity, witch is the preferable state for it. I usually fried them right afther pressure cooking them (i just wait about 20~30 min afther cook, they are still hot doe). Afther that frie then until golden&crispy and add some salt. I hope you can try the recepie and improveit.
