Mushroom Pesto
30m
A kind of pesto made with our favorite ingredients: mushrooms and cabbage!
This Mushroom Pesto can be a side dish for grilled meats, but it can also be enjoyed as it is with some nice bread or potato chips.
Conserving flavors when they are at their best is what we are always trying to do at our restaurant. Cabbage and other root vegetables are a common ingredient in our cuisine.
The chanterelle mushrooms can be replaced with any mushroom that you have access to. The mushrooms can also be replaced with spinach or carrot tops for a green pesto, and the cheese can be replaced with bread crumbs for a vegan option.
