Favorite Summer Quickie...

Not counting that of the wink-wink nudge-nudge variety:


Lightly fried tofu, fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, slathered
in pesto-mayo and stacked atop ciabatta.

Grub I Done Cooked for Another

Sexy kalamata & sundried tomato tapenade on a whole-wheat baguette. Fettucine with edamame pesto, heaped with roasted asparagus and zucchini, a mix of mushrooms, and shallots. Accompanied by a side of roasted brussel sprouts.


What I learned: the best part of the meal was when the brussel sprouts accidentally got mixed in with the pasta, so next time I make this, it's gonna be roasted zucchini, mushrooms, shallots, and roasted brussel sprouts. So so good.

Sexy Kalamata & Sundried Tomato Tapenade

This tapenade was having-a-dude-go-down-on-you-without-expecting-you-to-reciprocate good. In other words, IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. (And you won't have to blow anything in return. ;)



INGREDIENTS:

• 1 ¼ c. pitted kalamata olives (I also added some big fat green ones and some other greek black ones in as well)


• 9-10 oil-packed sundried tomatoes


• 2 T. capers


• 4 cloves garlic


• Handful of parsley


• 1/2 T. balsamic vinegar


• 1/2 T. oil from your oil-packed sundried tomatoes


• Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS

Blend that shit. Blend it real hard. Oh just like that. Yes yes yes.

Spread on a toasted baguette. Spread it. Mmmmm.

Makes enough for an entire baguette and then some.
