For pasta of all shapes and sizes, for vegetables, for pizza, as a dip, as a present.... I am of course talking about pesto. An extremely versatile indulgence, in my humble opinion, you can make it with leftover seeds and herbs (provided they were fresh in the first place) and it'll improve many different dishes.\u00a0You can even dress\u00a0it up nicely and give it away as a gift.<\/p>\n

Just grab a few small jam jars or other sealable glass containers, fill them with your pesto and decorate them with ribbons, yarns, little cards and the like. Here is my slightly different pesto recipe - not conducive to kissing, I might add.<\/p>\n

My pesto variation consists in large part of the world's most popular herb, the parsley. Not many people know that parsley is also a medicinal plant.\u00a0It is known as garden parsley or, in German, as Petersilie, Peterchen, Peterlein and Silk and\u00a0was considered an aphrodisiac in the Middle Ages.\u00a0Its high vitamin C content acts as a stimulant and the herb is generally beneficial for kidney and bladder function. Parsley also stimulates the appetite and contains vitamins A, B and C as well as potassium, calcium and iron. It comes in a flat leaf and a curly leaf variety and its root, usually considered a soup green and tasting similar to\u00a0celery, is harvested in late autumn.<\/p>\n

And how should\u00a0you really store parsley and other culinary herbs?<\/h3>\n

Classic herbs like basil, dill, chives, coriander and parsley are often sold in big bunches. The leftovers, if you plan to use them that same day, can be kept in a small vase with a little\u00a0water. If you want to keep your herbs fresh for several days, you should wash them and put them in a big plastic bag with an airtight seal while still damp. Then blow up the bag like a balloon and seal it.<\/p>\n

Here's the\u00a0recipe for my special\u00a0pesto (enough for around 2 jars)<\/p>\n
