(serves?? depends what you use it for)
2 cups lightly packed watercress
1/2 cup roasted pistachios, shelled
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup grated parmesan
juice of 1/2 lemon
olive oil till runny: 1/2 cup? depends on your taste
This recipe descended from my random mind: if one green leaf (basil) and one nut (pine nut) make pesto, which means in Italian only “paste,” why not mess around with it? Whizz all the ingredients in your food processor. DONE.
We ate this tonight tossed with grilled scallops and spaghetti, nice. You try your own ideas. Drizzled over tomatoes and mozzarella, that sounds good. Or on a fillet of sea bass, or brushed over toasted bread. Yum yum…

(serves four)
1 pound salmon fillet
3 tbsps butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 shallots, minced
1/3 cup brandy
1/2 cup creme fraiche
1/2 cup light cream
squeeze of lemon juice
dried thyme (enough to fit in the hollow of your palm if you cup your hand, is a good measuring tool for a little girl)
sweet paprika, same amount
salt and pepper to taste
In a heavy skillet, melt the butter and saute garlic and shallots till soft. Now pour in the brandy, taking time to explain “deglazing” to your child. Then whisk in the creme fraiche, creme, lemon juice and herbs. Taste and season.
Place your salmon in a glass nonstick-sprayed dish and pour the sauce over him, I mean it. Bake at 425 for 25 minutes. Glorious.
