Quick Sandwich!

Feeling uninspired to prepare a real lunch, I decided to go with a quick sandwich!

Sorry, I totally forgot to take a picture until after I bit into it!

I mixed some of the pesto I had made with a generous spoonful of plain yoghurt and got a delicious spread I used to flavor the bread.

The bread is a new experiment of sorts, bought at a new bakery I decided to try (more on this in a future post!) and it wasn't quite as delicious as the German bread I usually buy at City Shop... oh well!

It was a simple affair, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. A light, simple lunch!

Basil, Pestle, Pesto Presto!

The little bit of basil I harvested the other day turned into a little bit of pesto! I used a mortar and pestle, which I don't usually do for larger quantities because it is too laborious, but I was weighing the relative advantage of doing a little more work to squish the basil vs. having to clean my food processor just because of a tiny bit of pesto... Well, I am a reluctant cook after all!

First you smash it, you smash it!

To make the pesto I added a bit of salt and one clove of garlic, crushed through the press. Then I drizzled olive oil ad added a bit of black pepper.

Since everything was done in minimal quantities, this turned out to be a very intense little bit of pesto, super concentrated and perfect for spicing up any dish or sandwich :)
