3 delicious pestos

Pesto “Capuliato” is a part of the gastronomic Sicilian tradition. Excellent to add on canapé and appetizers such as toasted bread slices and  bruschettas. It can be added to enrich soups, creams and meat. It is particularly indicated as a seasoning for pasta dishes, especially spaghetti.

Ingredients: Sundried Tomatoes, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Chilli, Parsley, Basil, Garlic, Salt.

Almond and Capers Pesto is a traditional Sicilian preparation. The savour of the capers paired with the sweet almond create a balanced and tasty pesto. Lovely to use in the oven with chicken or white fish, as a pasta sauce and/or on steamed/boiled veggies. 

Ingredients: Capers, Almonds,  Agrestis extra virgin olive oil, Garlic, Vinegar.

Wild Fennel Pesto is made with the Monte Iblei wild fennel. The harvest of the fennel occurs in the month of April when the savour and perfume are more intense to produce, together with tomatoes, raisins and pine nuts an excellent seasoning with a unique taste. Great to pair with any fish... I love to put it on and around pieces of cod, wrap that in parchment paper and then bake those parcels in the oven.  A feast! 

Ingredients: Wild fennel, Agrestis extra virgin olive oil, Garlic, Raisin, Pine nuts, Cherry tomatoes, Lemon juice.
