Basil Pesto Sauce

June 21, 2010 by TammyL.

I wish I could take credit for this recipe but I can’t.  It belongs to Tyler Florence and is absolutely delicious!

  • 2 cups fresh basil
  • 1 cup fresh Italian parsley
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan or romano cheese, grated
  • 1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
  • 4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice 
  • 2 tablespoons water

    • Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender. Puree until the mixture forms a smooth, thick paste.   I add more garlic and chili pepper flakes according to my taste.  But this freezes well.  Make several batches!

    Grandpa’s chicken marinade

    August 7, 2007 by Scott.

    - 2 Cups soy sauce
    - 1 Cup red wine
    - 1 Tbls Thyme
    - 1 Tbls Ginger
    - 1 Tbls Garlic
    - 1 1/2 Tbls Italian Seasoning
    - 1 Tbls Cumin
    - Honey to taste

    Directions:
    1. Make marinade the night before cooking, and then add chicken the next morning, soak at least 8 hrs.

    Note: The longer it soak the more flavor will be tasted through out the chicken. If needed it can be made in the morning and add the chicken right away. Of course create a fresh herb baster to apply more marinade during cooking.
