Pesto can basically be made with any herb (parsley, basil, sage, cilantro) and nuts (almonds, walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios) you prefer. This version goes great over pasta, bread or grilled chicken.
Chili is best simmered low and slow all day long but, sometimes you don’t have all day. A pressure cooker helps cut the time down and tenderize a usually tough cut of meat, pork shoulder
Roasting these Cal Organic carrots brings out their subtle sweetness. I make use of the whole vegetable by making a pesto from the carrot tops with pistachios, parsley and lemon.
