Hello, Pesto!

i love pesto. Yes, I am. 

I love the taste, I love the colour and I love to say it loudly. PESTO!!

On one of my previous post, i made spinach spaghetti in my desperate of trying to find basil leaves.

Truly it can be replaced by spinach any other similar leaves but i don't want to that.

So when i was accidentally stop by one of supermarket on my way home from office, I saw this lovely greens on the store refrigerator. 

Yes, it's basil leaves. 

So I need pine nuts to make pesto, and still I can't find it anywhere.

Since I'm desperately want to cook pesto. I decided to use any nuts that I found at home.

I still have this beans from Bali. It's called kacang Koro. I don't know what I can call this kind of beans in English. And I found this most simple home made pesto in Pinterest. From this website I also know what substitutes ingredients of basil leaves and pine nuts and how to store pesto for later use and what's good to accompany by pesto sauce.

Then here we go. Finally my first pesto sauce.

Enjoy cooking.

Ikea Meatball Recipe by Chef Denz

IKEA Meatballs

We only have one IKEA store here in Indonesia. We've been waiting so long for IKEA to open its store here, and finally last year they open one store which located at Alam Sutera Tangerang.

I love this Swedish furniture manufacture. I remember in last past years, I always schedule my time to visit IKEA outlet whenever I went to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Even when I was in Hongkong. Beside of their simple yet modern furniture, IKEA is also famous by its meatballs. However I can't eat their meatballs cause it always contains pork (yes, I'm moslem). But now, they open store in Indonesia, I finally can eat them.

And today, my friends, chef Denz will share the recipe of IKEA meatballs origins from IKEA website. 

Enjoy cooking and I can't wait to try this at home.

Spaghetti With Spinach Sauce

Pesto...pesto...

I wanted it badly. But, thanks to my local market, i can't find the ingredients anywhere.

Al the ingredients basil, pine nuts, and everything

Then I found this amazing site and in some recipes they said that you can replace basil with spinach, so i tried this recipe.

It's very delicious, my kids love it and they didn't realise that it was spinach.

Most of all I love the green colour that made this meal was very beautiful.
