Sweet eggplant and fresh mint: an unexpected pair that turns every dish into a fresh Mediterranean experience.
From the Landof Sicily
The Eggplant and Mint Pesto combines the softness of eggplant with the lively freshness of mint, creating a fragrant and well-balanced condiment. The sweetness of the vegetable blends with aromatic herbal notes, for a creamy and surprising result.
- A cream that coats pasta. Stir a little cooking water into the pesto before adding busiate or your favourite pasta shape.
- Let the herbal note come through. Finish with a small mint leaf, keeping other herbs and sauces light.
- A soft and crunchy starter. Layer ricotta and pesto over crisp toast, assembling the crostini shortly before bringing them to the table.
