I usually keep pesto in small bags in my freezer, making this side dish a supremely easy and quick one. Use about a tablespoon of pesto (or more if you like) and freeze the leftovers. It goes well with fish, chicken, and vegetables.

Start Cooking
Prepare Mushrooms
-
Blend all pesto ingredients, aside from the oil, in a food processor fitted with the “S” blade.
-
While the machine is running, slowly add the oil through the feeder and blend until a fine paste forms.
-
Cut mushrooms into halves or quarters.
-
Heat oil in a frying pan and sauté mushrooms until soft. Discard any additional juice, or reserve for use in a later recipe (see tip).
-
Add one tablespoon of pesto to the pan, or more as desired, and toss just to coat.
-
Remove from heat and serve warm or room temperature.
Tip:
The juice from the sautéed mushrooms is incredibly flavorful and makes a great addition to any dish that you would flavor with chicken stock, such as mashed potatoes.
