_There was basil at the Market!!!!!!!!_ I have been waiting and waiting for basil to appear. Huge massive bunches of it. And so, drum roll please, tonight's dinner was _Wheat_ Pasta and stir fried _Vegetables_ and basil pesto. It's an exciting day.
Basil Pesto (I'm sure I've shared this before)
1 bunch basil
100g pine nuts
2 good sloshes olive oil
4 good sloshes of ume vinegar or pickled plum juice
Whiz in the blender.
Stir through pasta and stir fried veges. Today's was pumpkin, onion and broccoli. Quick and easy since I didn't get home till late from mini-golf!
Ume vinegar is a Japanese food available in health food stores or the Japanese section of your supermarket if you're lucky. It is well worth hunting out.
