PARSLEY, LEMON, AND WALNUT PESTO ON ROASTED SWEET POTATOES



Parsley, Lemon, and Walnut Pesto on Roasted Sweet Potatoes image

When roasting sweet potatoes, leave the skins on for greater nutrition (and better texture). High heat muddies the fresh flavors of the herbs and lemon zest in pesto, so spoon it on just before serving.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges

LEMON-WALNUT PESTO STUFFED CHERRY TOMATOES



Lemon-Walnut Pesto Stuffed Cherry Tomatoes image

This is from the "Vegetarian Appetizers" cookbook. The picture looked so fabulous that I just had to try it. DH and the other guests just gobbled these up. The pesto is pretty tasty! You will have to guage the olive oil based upon how you like your pesto. The yield on this is dependent upon the size of the tomatoes used and how you cut them. This yield assumes the tomato only has the top cut off, not in half.

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 12 tomatoes

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 cherry tomatoes
fresh basil (optional) or toasted walnut halves, for garnish (optional)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped toasted walnuts
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaf
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 -2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, to taste
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Put all pesto ingredients in food processor and process until slightly chunky, or desired consistency.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings, as necessary.
  • Cut tomatoes (in half or cut off the very top) and remove seeds and juice (I use an iced tea spoon).
  • Fill tomato with pesto using a pastry bag or ziploc bag (small spoon may also work).
  • Sprinkle with paprika just before serving.
  • Serve chilled or room temperature.
