Some people don't like to cook in the summertime. I don't mind the act of cooking in the summer. I don't mind the heat of the kitchen, but it's more that I am just so hot I don't want to do anything at all! When I came home today and I was hungry, I just wanted something to materialize in front of me. Even the act of really chewing seemed too great a task! So I threw some basic ingredients into the food processor: Spicy greens (arugula, mustard, dandelion...), a garlic clove, toasted pine nuts, parmesan, olive oil, salt, lemon juice, black pepper... and hit the ON switch. And out came pesto!
I lathered it atop
Hot Bread Kitchen sourdough batard (omg new favorite), along with seared zucchini and chopped fresh herbs. Dinner for the lazy is served.
