Steps

1

Make the Pesto (this Can Be Done Ahead): Stick a Palmful of Almonds, a Small Handful of Parsley, and a Heart Attack-Inducing Amount of Salt in a Food Processer Until It's Nice and Crumbly (don't Worry About the Salt, the Pesto Will Be Eaten in Small Portions!) Beat Together About a Tablespoon of Softened Butter With a Couple Glugs of Olive Oil Until the Butter Floats Around in Little Clumps. Mix Oil Mixture and Almond/Parsley Mixture Together and Add Freshly Ground Pepper. Taste It Because It Probably Needs More Salt, Then Plastic-Wrap Your Container and Put It in the Fridge For Later or Continue the Recipe. |
