Creamy Arugula Pesto - Vegetarian Recipe
Basically it is the same recipe as regular basil pesto except switch out the basil for one cup arugula and one cup parsley then add in a 1/3 cup of ricotta to get the creaminess.
Tangy and sweet this homemade corn relish is a go-to item in my pantry. It has been incorporated into many meals over the last year. My favorite use was to add a couple dollops to sour cream and enjoy it as salad dressing.
The pickles are excellent. They have a nice salty cider vinegar brine with some spice from the jalapeno and black pepper as well as the richness offered by the fresh garlic and dill.
