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.
