Dropped in on a couple and the talk got around to cooking. The husband loves to cook and like me he does it without recipes and embraces the adventure of flavour combination.
While talking about different recipes I shared the following that had come to me in a panic when my parents were coming for a visit and I had promised my mother something special as a meal creation. Got up that morninng and realized I hadn't made anything!
Cooking Note -- some of your best recipes can come about in a moment of panic. Really.
Basil Pesto Brush On or Marinade
Pesto Basil. I have never made one so I have purchased different brands. Classico Basil is one I have used.
Oil -- olive or grapeseed oil. I have yet to try this with coconut oil.
Pure unsweetened Cranberry juice. Needs to be pure.
Garlic
Sweetener -- I use maple syrup.
Directions -- Combine equal parts of Oil and Juice. Sweeten to your taste. I like tartness to contrast with the Basil Pesto. Garlic to taste.
Use as a brush on for Salmon, Chicken or Pork. I use frozen Pacific Salmon. If using this product you must pay careful attention so it does not dry out. I have great results. Sorry Atlantic Canada.
Or let items be marinaded for about 20 minutes.
Cook and enjoy!
Happy Eating
Grace and Peace
