SEA ASPARAGUS PESTO

Intrigued by the flavor profile of Sea Asparagus Pesto, I jumped at the chance to test this new product while creating recipes for the FORAGED&FOUND Eat Wild Blogger Recipe Challenge.

I envisioned the flavor of the kelp based pesto to taste like the sea, but was amazed by the product's incredibly fresh and delicious flavor with no aftertaste whatsoever.

The richness of the environment is reflected in the unique flavors you'll find from Foraged & Found.

MY GO-TO HOLIDAY AND ENTERTAINING APPETIZER

I love gooey-melty burrata and mozzarella cheese appetizers, and I make them every chance I get. The best part about the recipe is its versatility as it can be served year round with seasonal fruits and vegetables. The Sea Asparagus Pesto was the perfect addition for my favorite go-to appetizer and perfect for any holiday or family gathering.

PESTO BUTTER BATHED CROSTINI

I usually serve the appetizer family style, baked in cast iron with my signature, butter bathed crostini. For this recipe I mixed two heaping tablespoons of the Sea Asparagus Pesto with a stick of melted butter to bathe and bake the crostini to perfection. Heavenly just on their own, the crostini's serve as the tastiest little dippers for the baked appetizer.
