Cooking steps

Fresh Pesto Sandwich

Step 1: Make the Pesto

  • In a blender, combine basil, walnuts, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan cheese. Blend until you reach your desired texture, either smooth or slightly chunky.

Step 2: Prepare the Bread

  • Take focaccia bread and cut it in half. Spread the freshly made pesto generously on one side.

Step 3: Add Fillings

  • On top of the pesto, add cheese and a drizzle of chili oil (be careful not to add too much).
  • Next, layer on rocket leaves and some tomatoes.

Step 4: Season the Sandwich

  • For crunch, sprinkle some walnuts, add black pepper, and drizzle a bit more olive oil. If you have garlic oil, you can use that as well.

Step 5: Final Touches

  • Cut the sandwich neatly with a bread knife, and it’s ready to enjoy! Pair it with your favorite dip.
