Weeknight Hash with Chive Pesto

This pesto is bright, zingy and addictive. It’s great with rice and rotisserie chicken, with zoodles and shrimp, and of course with my absolute favorite – a nice weeknight hash.

Weeknight hash: because breakfast is *always* the right answer.

Weeknight Hash with Chive Pesto

For the pesto:

1 bunch chives
2 cloves garlic
Juice 1 lemon
Couple glugs good olive oil
A little water if needed
Salt & pepper

For the hash:

Sweet potatoes
Onions
Fat of choice
Salt & pepper

Protein toppers:

Leftover chicken
Eggs

First, wash and chop your potatoes. Cut the onion into chunks. Toss with fat of choice, salt & pepper and bake at 180/200C until cooked to your desired doneness. Alternately, cook in a large pan on the stovetop.

While the potatoes are working, make the pesto by combining all ingredients but water in a blender. Drizzle in a little water if needed to move better. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed – you’re looking for tart and bright.

Grab your proteins and you’re ready to roll. To serve, spoon up some potatoes, top with your protein, and a couple Tablespoons pesto.

Pesto serves 4 or so – the hash depends on how much you make

Someone’s having a case of the Mondays and refused to get up from her nap throughout my entire getting ready for the day process – then went right back to it as soon as she saw me off at the door.

Another day, catching up on another movie – Jurassic Park.

One of the best things about having a non-standard to this area’s weekend is having the baller theater to ourselves.

Roasted Mustard Veggies

This dish was exactly what I was picturing when I picked my bottle of mustard oil up.

It’s simple, quick, keto, pantry-friendly and delicious. Plus: it can be dressed up a million different ways. I served with 2 fried eggs for a low-effort dinner one night.

Roasted Mustard Veggies

10 ounces frozen veggies (I used a mixture of cauliflower, broccoli, and romanesco)
2-3 Tbsp. Fat of choice (I used coconut oil)
1 Tbsp. Mustard oil (can be found in Indian or middle-eastern groceries)
1/4 c. Slivered almonds
Sprinkle nutritional yeast or Parmesan (optional)
Salt & pepper

Preheat your oven to 200C.

While your oven is heating, line a baking sheet with tinfoil and spread your frozen veggies on top. Sprinkle with the oils and hit with salt and pepper.

Bake 20-25 minutes or until browned to your liking.

While the veggies are roasting, dry toast the almonds over high heat in a large pan. Set aside.

To serve, top the veggies with the almonds.

Makes a hearty main (with something light like eggs) for 1 or decent side for 2

Deadpool, even prepped and packaged for this market, was still rather great.

The “cursing” was inventive.

Also: yay, sneaky way to quarter work on French!
