Again I had stuff in the fridge that needed to be used. I abhor throwing food away so will always find a way of turning it into something edible, before it turns to something inedible.
This time it was spring onion. I had loads, so I made double this quantity.
This is a great, quick and easy option for taking an offering to a casual do like a BBQ. Just grab some crackers on the way and you are done.
Pesto is so versatile. It is a great dip, can be used as a pasta sauce, a spread on salad sandwiches, the list goes on. So get into pesto making!
