Okay, it wasn’t so secret. I was cleaning out the refrigerator. I help a farmer sell his sea asparagus at one of the local farmers markets. He usually lets me take home a few of the unsold items. This week it was one container of fresh sea asparagus and one bottle of his “ocean pesto”.
Ocean Pesto
Ingredients
Notice, it’s non-dairy. My stomach thanks you. 🙂
Ocean Pesto
Pesto Orzo
Orzo pasta, ocean pesto, caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil for garnish. I used part of the oil in the pesto to caramelize the onions, then tossed everything together. Not bad, if I do say so myself.
Sea Asparagus with Tofu
Plain. Par-boiled. The sea asparagus is naturally salty, no seasoning needed.
Stir-Fried Wood Ear Fungus
I also stir-fried some wood ear fungus. Olive oil, sugar, salt, and Shao Xing wine to deglaze.
I didn’t realize it at the time but this was a vegetarian dinner. I guess I’ll be looking for a burger tomorrow. 😛
Enjoy.
