BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S PISTOU



Barefoot Contessa's Pistou image

This delicious pistou is actually taken from a Provencal Vegetable Soup recipe by the Barefoot Contessa. The pistou is meant to be added to the soup just before serving. While a wonderful addition for the soup, it was hard to keep my DH from eating all the pistou on crusty Italian bread! Now it is requested on a regular basis and tastes great with bread, crackers, or even raw veggies. You can even toss it with hot pasta. It's a little garlicky tho, so you may want to cut back on the garlic if you don't want it that strong.

ORLANDO BLOOM'S PASTA AU PISTOU



Orlando Bloom's Pasta Au Pistou image

Posted for Mom2Rose who's a big Orlando Bloom fan. The following blurb came with the recipe: "My role in the Pirates of the Caribbean series has inadvertently made me something of a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine - and Dominica had the most impact on me. We found this amazing tree-house restaurant called Indigo. It's off the beaten path, and run by Marie Frederick and her husband Clem, who serve this delicious pasta recipe." NOTE: The original recipe called for "one tin of tomatoes, drained" but the Zaar recipe software won't accept that vague description. So, I guesstimated a 15oz can of tomatoes. Mom2Rose will be the expert on the actual can size because she's actually made this recipe! :)
