So tonight, I remembered I had rotisserie chicken leftovers in my fridge begging to be eaten (and I was dying to eat), so I put together this pizza. It's quick and yummy but to be honest nice horrendously nice to the college student budget, unless you have a basil plant. I bought a pre-made pizza crust and topped it with home-made pesto, fresh mozzarella cheese and the chicken. Into the oven for 8 minutes and nom nom!
...Unfortunately, I'm new to this whole blogging thing so uhh....we ate but one slice of it before D remembers that, you know, we have a food blog. But, I swear, the whole pizza looked was sexy.
I don't really have a pesto recipe...but roughly:
Rough chop a couple handfuls of basil and cilantro. Put half in the blender, blend and slowly add olive oil until blended. Toss in the rest of the basil and cilantro. Toast a handful of pine nuts. Toss in pine nuts, black pepper, salt, a dash of lemon juice, and parmesan cheese to taste.
Yea -- pizza was mostly delicious, but basic-that-tastes-like-spinach is a little awk. To clarify: this is a knock on the basil. Not you. You are knockless.
ReplyDelete...somehow that sounds dirty.
