Meatballs In Spicy Peanut Curry Sauce

In April 2017, Chef Kate Dowhan was diagnosed with breast cancer. Kate had been teaching at Relish since 2011. We were all shocked and dismayed by this news, but as we watched Kate take on her courageous batter, we were inspired by her strength and positivity. She is an inspiration to all of us at Relish. We are thrilled to have her back in the Relish kitchen and happy to share a favourite recipe of hers from a fundraising cookbook we produced called "Best Of 30-Minute Meals". Welcome back Kate!

Small Batch Basil Pesto
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
Basil pesto, the iconic green sauce we slather on everything from pasta to paninis is both ancient and modern. A Latin poem from the year 25CE describes pounding together herbs, cheese, oil and vinegar - making pesto the oldest sauce in Europe. Long adored in Italy, pesto made it's way into North America in the 70's and evolved from a motor-and-pestle affair to a shelf-stable condiment. Pesto literally translates into the word "pounded" and is made from fresh basil, nuts, olive oil, garlic and cheese.
