Rosemary-Pistachio Spread/Dip


Pista Rosemary dip1

About:

This healthy, delicious dip/spread is made with olive oil, low-fat Greek yogurt that’s been infused with fresh garlic and rosemary and puréed until it’s smooth and creamy. It can be easily dressed up by topping it with a handful of toasted nuts.

It’s also good as a spread for sandwiches or burgers. The pistachio add a little crunchy element that is missing from a lot of dips. A fresh rosemary gave a really nice Mediterranean taste and I actually found it better than the usual recipe.

I used this spread for making Indo-Italian Tacos (Recipe click here)

Indo-Italian Tacos


Taco Indo-Italian

About:

The tacos are filled with roasted bell peppers, tofu, Aubergine which were marinated first in chilli sauce, olive oil with herbs. Roasted marinated vegetables and tofu made them smoky-flavoured and delicious. It’s the Pistachio-rosemary spread which adds the extra flavour and nutty taste and a unique blend to the tacos.

Roasting an eggplant, the flesh became completely tender, and adding that to the puree resulted in a lighter tasting spread with a creamy smooth texture.
