It’s spring! FINALLY!! Well, at least calendar wise.. It still gets quite chilly in the morning over here, but at least the sun is shining more often, it is slowly getting greener out there, and I am already starting to put aside those thick wool scarves, gloves, winter boots.. all those extra things that I simply don’t enjoy wearing. I am so ready for the new season!<\/span><\/p>\n

From a culinary point of view which one is a better way to start into the new season, than going to the market and seeing the first green asparagus being sold? Without hesitating it ended up in my shopping bag and 2 hours later it was on the plate, ready to be eaten :) <\/span><\/p>\n

I don’t use puff pastry that often, but I like having it in the fridge once in a while. Especially on those lazy days.. It comes in handy when I want to make a quick dish. Like this one. This tart doesn’t take longer than 15 minutes to prepare, before you can throw it into the oven. <\/span><\/p>\n

The pesto that I ended up using this time was slightly different than the typical basil pesto that I posted here<\/a><\/span>. Last week I had neither pine nuts, nor garlic at home. So I ended up using some chopped almonds instead, together with the basil, olive oil and parmesan cheese. And it turned out really good! Especially that extra crunchiness.. You should give it a try!<\/span><\/p>\n
