ErbsenpestoPea Pesto

Ein Klassiker in unserer schnellen Feierabendküche: das Erbsenpesto. Wer Erbsen mag wird dieses Pesto lieben!

Das Rezept hatte ich mal wieder bei der wunderbaren Deb von Smitten Kitchen entdeckt. Im Oktober kommt übrigens ihr erstes Kochbuch heraus, auf das ich mich schon sehr freue!

Erbsenpesto

Die Zutaten für so ein Pesto hat man (ich auf jeden Fall) immer daheim. TK-Erbsen, Parmesan, Olivenöl, Pinienkerne. Sollte ihr Pinienkerne eher als Rarität in Eurem Schrank betrachten, kann man natürlich auch einfach Mandeln oder Macadamianüsse verwenden. Und dann solltet ihr doch mal Pinienkerne kaufen. Sie besitzen nämlich ein ganz wundervolles Aroma, das keiner anderen Nuss ähnelt.

Des weiteren muss man alles nur in den Mixer schmeißen und bis zu einer cremigen Konsistenz zerkleinern, Pasta kochen, daruntermischen, evtl etwas Pastawasser dazu. Feddisch! Einfach, schnell und lecker!

Das Rezept reiche ich beim Cookbook of Colors ein. Diesen Monat ist nämlich die Farbe hellgrün dran und somit habe ich endlich etwas das ich auch einreichen kann. Bisher hat es nämlich immer nicht gepasst.

A classic in our fast after work kitchen: the pea pesto. If you like peas, you will love this pesto!

Another great recipe from Deb from Smitten Kitchen. Who by the way is releasing her first cookbook in October!

Pea Pesto

The ingredients for this pesto are always at home. Frozen peas, parmesan, olive oil, pine nuts. If you are considering pine nuts as a curiosity in your pantry, just use almonds or macadamia nuts. And then consider buying some pine nuts. That’s because they have a wonderful unique flavour, which cannot be compared to any other nut.

Everything is thrown into the mixer and minced until creamy. Cook the pasta, and mix it, baby! Add some pasta water eventually and you’re done! Easy, fast and delicious!

Happy new year, dear readers, followers, bloggers and food lovers!

Thank you for all the support and kind comments last year! I’m looking forward to more of that.

 Everybody’s sharing his new year resolutions over the net. And I thought, if I have some, too… food related ones of course. But to be honest, there aren’t a lot. I have achieved a lot of food related things last year. This year will be all about finishing my university education and there’s a huge focus on that. Of course that doesn’t mean neglecting my blog life. So no resolutions, just some thoughts I want to put down: Making homemade pasta again, baking something new from scratch, like apple strudel or trying something new, like oysters (maybe with a little champagne… I would have no objections to that). 

Quiche with Peas, Bacon & Mozzarella

 I hope you all had wonderful Christmas and a relaxing time like we had. Our Christmas dinner was extraordinary and one of the best we ever cooked and ate. We celebrated in Nuremberg with my family. We had trout terrine for starter, venison marinated in port and maple syrup (as well as other ingredients) with hokkaido and bread dumplings for the main course and a strawberry-mascarpone-ice cream cake for dessert. I really thought about making some pictures, but most of the food didn’t survived that long. It was a really great atmosphere, as we had white Christmas with a lot of snow (over 20 cm) and again a Christmas tree with real candles.

Quiche with Peas, Bacon & Mozzarella

 My recipe of that quiche is just right for now. Although with its ingredients it would also fit in summer, when fresh peas are available. But frozen ones are just good now. This quiche is rich, but flat and it’s inspired by flammkuchen, and the taste of Italy in late spring. That’s just what I had in mind, when I raid the freezer. Don’t expect any logic! But it’s really tasty, easy and although rich, it won’t sit heavily in your stomach.
