Garlic Pesto

by | Nov 9, 2015 | 0 comments

This is a condiment that I use in so many things - as a base for soups, beginnings of a stir fry, smothering roast vegetables in, roasting broccoli, topping for a salad or basted on a twisted bread loaf before baking the bread (this is my favourite). The uses are endless.
