Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 30m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups loosely packed fresh basil leaves
1 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
Juice of 1/2 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1 Calabrian chile
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 tablespoons good-quality salted butter, softened
One 16- to 18-inch baguette, split and warmed
6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
1/4 peeled and seeded ripe cantaloupe, very thinly sliced (a vegetable peeler works well)

Steps:

  • For the basil drizzle: Combine the basil, parsley, salt, red pepper flakes, garlic, lemon juice and chile in a mini food processor and pulse to make a chunky paste. Add the olive oil and process until smooth and bright green.
  • For the prosciutto, cantaloupe and butter sandwich: Spread the butter on both cut sides of the baguette. Drizzle the bottom piece with a tablespoon or so of the basil drizzle. Layer the prosciutto and cantaloupe on the bottom piece of the baguette, ruffling and folding the prosciutto as you go. Drizzle a tablespoon of the basil drizzle over the top. Drizzle the cut side of the top piece with 1/4 cup or so of the basil drizzle. Place the top piece of baguette on the prosciutto and cantaloupe and cut into 2 sandwiches using a serrated knife. Serve the extra basil drizzle on the side or reserve for another use.

PARSLEY BASIL DRIZZLE



Parsley Basil Drizzle image

Drizzles and dollops are very helpful for people who are dealing with impaired taste buds as a result of treatment. Drizzles are a bit like Roman candles; they light up the palette. They're lighter than dollops, but don't be fooled; the parsley in this drizzle is like a whiff of pure oxygen. It's that energizing.

Yield makes 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup tightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup tightly packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the basil, parsley, lemon juice, water, and salt in a blender or food processor and process until finely chopped. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and continue to process until very smooth. Do a quick FASS check. If the drizzle tastes too sour, add another pinch of salt.
  • Goes with Cooling Cucumber Avocado Soup (page 70), Minestrone (page 64), Roasted Red Roma Tomato Soup (page 69), Creamy Broccoli and Potato Soup (page 75), Italian White Bean Soup (page 57), Lemon Mustard Salmon Salad (page 109), Nana's Egg Salad (page 114), My Family's Favorite Chicken (page 111), Easy Eggs in a Cup (page 102), Basil Broccoli (page 78), Mediterranean Lentil Salad (page 142), Simple Tuscan Farro (page 148), and Tuscan Farro and Bean Salad (page 107). It's also great over poached eggs (page 115).
  • This is the base recipe for pesto. If you want a richer, thicker sauce, add 1/4 cup of pine nuts or chopped walnuts along with the herbs.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Shake well before serving.
