Rosemary Orange Pesto Recipes

Steps:

• Put the pine nuts in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the mint, garlic, rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until finely chopped. Add the Grana Padano and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and process until combined. Transfer to a bowl.

Steps:

• Put the almonds in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add the parsley, garlic, oregano, rosemary and 1/4 teaspoon salt and pulse until finely chopped. Add the pecorino and pulse to combine. With the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and process until combined. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the tomatoes.

Steps:

• Thoroughly wash fresh herbs and pat dry. Strip rosemary from stalk and chop.
• Combine rosemary, parsley, garlic, cheese, nuts and oil into food processor and blend well.
• Season to taste.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the garlic, orange zest, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl, and stir until combined. Rub the lamb with the garlic mixture, gently pressing it into the meat. Place the lamb, meat side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. (This is a good time to start the creme fraiche potatoes.) Roast lamb in the center of the oven ‑- 15 to 20 minutes for rare (the internal temperature on a meat thermometer will read 125 degrees F), 20 to 30 minutes for medium rare (135 degrees F), 25 to 35 minutes for medium (145 degrees F).
• Cover the surface of the platter with rosemary. Slice the rack into chops at the table, and serve.

Steps:

• Process to coarse paste. With machine running, gradually add olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• At least 6 hours before you plan to ice the cake, prepare the crystallized rosemary: Brush rosemary on all sides with a little of the egg white and then dip it in the sugar, so the needles are lightly coated on all sides. Set aside on a wire rack to dry. Repeat with remaining rosemary.
• Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit/160 degrees Celsius. Generously grease a 9-inch/23-centimeter Bundt pan with half the butter and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Butter again, generously, and then flour it, tapping away the excess.
• Put olive oil, superfine sugar, orange zest and chopped rosemary leaves in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed until combined, then add eggs, one at a time. Whisk for another minute, until thick, then add sour cream and mix until combined on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the whisk.
• Sift flour, baking powder and salt together into a small bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the olive oil mixture and mix until combined. Increase speed to high and whisk for 1 minute.
• Scrape batter into the Bundt pan and smooth the top with a small spatula. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until cake is cooked and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. (You may want to trim the cake at this stage, if it rises unevenly, to allow it to sit flat on the plate.)
• Prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. When the cake has cooled, drizzle icing on top, allowing it to drip down the sides of the cake, then top with the crystallized rosemary and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Spread nuts in a small baking pan and roast, shaking pan once or twice, until fragrant and toasted, 7-10 minutes.
• In a food processor or blender, combine scallions, parsley, rosemary, orange zest, and garlic.
• Process, turning machine quickly on and off, until ingredients are finely chopped.
• Add olive oil, Parmesan cheese, vinegar, cayenne and toasted walnuts. Process to a coarse paste.
