Hi there! I don't like all the arguing over at the other vegetarian thread so I decided to start a new one, and start it with some of the things I'd like to see and talk about with fellow chicken/poultry keepers!
First off, here's the recipe I'm having for dinner tonight!
Avocado Pesto:
3 avocados
(everything else is to taste, but I'll put in what I use)
fresh basil (I usually use 6-10 leaves depending on size)
lemon juice (maybe 1/4c)
garlic (we love garlic and usually use 4 BIG cloves of the garlic we grow)
salt/pepper (1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper)
lemon zest (just a little to give it some zing!)
olive oil (add this last to get the consistency you want)
angel hair or spaghetti-like pasta of your choice
Cook angel hair pasta according to directions. Put avocados (removed from skin and pitted) in a food processor with basil and lemon juice. Blend thoroughly, and add garlic, salt/pepper, and olive oil. blend thoroughly until its the consistency you want. I usually thin mine out to be about the consistency of alfredo sauce. immediately after straining pasta, toss with avocado pesto sauce. (I usually toss the servings individually so the sauce is mixed in better). Top with lemon zest and extra salt/pepper if desired. Voila! My husband's favorite vegan recipe using a ton of ingredients from out garden.
