Pesto potatoes are an awesome side dish; my version features boiled baby spuds that are finished in brown butter and my homemade basil pesto.
Recipes that take between 30 and 45 minutes
I think that between 30 and 45 minutes is a sweet spot for recipe cooking time.
The dishes are still quick enough to cook for a midweek meal, but they allow you to spend a little more time on preparation. The extra cooking time also allows flavours to develop a little more and deliver a little more "punch".
Like all of my recipes, this collection comes with a complete, clear and comprehensive set of instructions that allow you to recreate my recipes perfectly.
