The fruit or vegetable grown is:
Rocket
Recipe: Rocket and parsley pesto
Ingredients:
Rocket, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, nuts, parmesan (optional), sweet chilli sauce, olive oil
Method:
Get a handful of rocket and another of parsley fom the garden and process until finely chopped. Add, continuing to process: Nuts (cashew if you like to imitate some of the pesto-tyle dips currently in the supermarkets, or macadamias if you happen to grow them!) Garlic to taste (say 5 cloves for some oomph) Parmesan (optional). Lemon juice - a sueeze. Sweet chilli sauce - a dollop. Olive Oil - several tablepoons, until the pesto reaches the desired consistency. Taste, and add more of the above ingredients until you have the balance to your taste. Eat with pasta, on toast, as a dip.... or by the spoonful! How else can you get food that tastes so good and is so good for you at the same time?
