Sundried tomato and peanut pesto
About:
The sun dried tomato and peanut pesto give it a thick chunky texture, and the sweetness of the tomatoes with richness of the peanuts. Here I use OIL FREE sun-dried tomatoes without any added Oils. So this makes a dry version so for easy spreading of the pesto feel free to use extra oil or even cheese can be used.
I used this in my pizza (link)
Yields: 3/4 to 1cup

Steamed Spinach Rolls filled with Mashed potato
About:
I’ll use just about any excuse to work more dark leafy greens like Spinach, Fenugreek and kale etc., into my diet. I blend them into smoothies, shred them for salads and add them to almost every soup I make.
My newest obsession is using the leaves in place of tortillas and wraps to enclose favourite filling.
Health benefits:
Like other dark greens, spinach is an excellent source of beta-carotene, a powerful disease-fighting antioxidant that’s been shown, among other things, to reduce the risk of developing cataracts. It fights heart disease and cancer as well. Spinach also contains lipoic acid, which is being investigated for regulating blood sugar levels.
