Beans marinated with pesto # 28

Tapas

Pestomarinated beans

Supersimple and works on it´s own or as a side to almost anything, and if you´re feeling lazy just buy some good pesto and precooked beans and mix. If not you´ll need the follwing.

Beans
Water
Chicken stock
Bay leaves
Thyme

Soak the beans in water overnight, discard the water next day and simmer in new water with chicken stock, bay leaves and thyme. When cooked strain the stock (this can be saved and used for soup bases) and season the beans with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Basil
Arugula
Pine nuts
Garlic
Parmesan
Olive oil
Salt, pepper

Blend it all, I use some arugula as well because with only basil I think it sometimes can be a bit to intense, and I also like the hint of pepper the arugula adds.

Momofuku quick salt pickles # 26


Momofuku quick salt pickles

First of all, thanks David Chang for allowing me to steal this recipe. It´s the easiest pickle recipe I ever tried and they are very versatile and can be served on their own, to ramen noodles, tacos, pulled pork, burgers, you name it.

In the original recipe there is only cucumber but I usually add a fennel as well since I think it goes great with the cucumber and is excellent for pickling, so let´s go!

Fennel
Cucumber
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Cut the vegetables in slices and combine with the salt and sugar, let sit for ten minutes, adjust salt and sugar to taste, you can rinse if they are to salty or sweet. Serve within a few hours.
