The first few times I made these onions I used dried thyme. Soon after I started adding cumin seeds and now, I alternate between the two flavours, depending on what I am planning to serve with the onions. I use thyme if I want a more delicate flavour, and cumin when I serve it with meat.
This tomato pesto is so versatile. Spread it on sandwiches (braaibroodjies) or toast, dollop on scrambled eggs for a delicious breakfast and the options for sides, salads and suppers are plenty. Spread pesto on chicken breast fillets or under the skin of chicken thighs and roast in the oven. Toss the pesto through baby potatoes in the skin or chickpeas, add some crumbled feta and serve with rocket and fresh basil as a side dish.
Min dinge kan by die smaak en delikate tekstuur van tuisgemaakte vars pasta kersvashou. Dis dalk ’n bietjie meer moeite, maar dit absoluut werd, want tuisgemaakte vars pasta is iets besonders. En dis nogal ’n prettige aktiwiteit vir die hele gesin of ’n groep vriende om sommer só saam te kook en te kuier.
