Pesto is a true classic that always works and this particular pesto made from avocado is a recipe that we love. The dish is made by Diana Gran, a food-loving home cook who came fourth in Swedish Masterchef 2021. The avocado pesto is served with chicken, white beans and peas - together they make a healthy and filling meal that is perfect for pregnant women.<\/p>\n
If you don't have time to make your own pesto, it's okay to buy ready-made and mix with a ripe avocado. Diana makes it herself when she doesn't have the time (which can be often)... and it's just as good! The pesto becomes extra creamy, almost creamy, with avocado in it.<\/p>\n
For two people<\/strong> Ingredients:<\/strong> Ingredients for avocado pesto:<\/strong> Do this:<\/strong>
\nCooking time: about 20 min<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n250 g large canned white beans (have more beans if you're hungry)
\n2 dl frozen green peas
\n2 chicken fillets<\/p>\n
\n1 ripe avocado
\n1 bunch of basil
\n1 clove of garlic
\n1 dl of good olive oil
\n1 dl grated parmesan
\n\u00bd dl pine nuts or soaked cashew nuts<\/p>\n
\n1. If you make the pesto yourself, mix all the ingredients for the pesto in a hand blender. If you buy ready-made pesto, mix with a ripe avocado in a bowl.
\n2. Boil the peas for 1 minute. Cool down with cold water.
\n3. Salt and pepper the chicken fillets. Fry the chicken in olive oil for about 10 minutes over medium heat. Put the lid on halfway through to keep the chicken juicy.
\n4. Drain the beans and pour them into a bowl. Add the peas and pesto, mix.
\n5. Plate as shown in the picture. This dish is equally good cold or warm. I think it's almost better cold, so it can be prepared in advance.<\/p>\n
