Hey, Friends! Happy Wednesday!
Two things I love: stack recipes, and fancy made easy. This recipe can be very easy if you buy all the ingredients instead of making them. It’s the perfect snack or appetizer. Want to throw it together fast? Run to the store and grab goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and your choice of pesto. Stack them up and serve.
How to stack? This is one of my favorite kitchen tools ever. All you do is layer whatever it is you want to stack and push down the top while you slide up the ring.
I linked where to get this cool tool. Amazon of course. But, in my opinion it’s worth it to have around if you like messing around in the kitchen.
Let’s make pesto! Now, let me just say I make it with my heart so this recipe isn’t totally exact. My stack is vegan so the pesto is too. You can also sub the nutritional yeast for vegan parm if you’d like. I make my pesto with a mortar and pestle like the old ladies in Italy but you can also use a blender or food processor.
If you’re skipping the goat cheese and keeping vegan here is the super easy “cheese”:
1/2 raw cashews (soaked for about two hours)
1/2 of a lemon, juiced
1/2 cup water
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
what you do:
Throw it all in a food processor and then just put it in the fridge for a couple hours or if you might have gotten distracted like myself a week. Oops. You can also freeze it if you want to use it sooner.
Once you have all of your ingredients, layer them up. If you don’t have this tool you can also use a one cup measuring cup and flip it. That’s what I did before using my stacking ring.
This recipe is a great way to feel fancy and still eat on the lighter side. Thanks for stopping by!
