The one with the basil dip



What you'll need:
  • 40 grams of basil
  • 1 package of creamcheese
  • 2 tablespoons of capers
  • 2 tablespoons of grated grana padano
  • 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • pepper to taste


What you'll need to do:
Well, this is not really a recipe, it's super easy (chopping + stirring). All you need to do is chop the basil leaves and capers, add it to the cheeses and olive oil. Give it a stir, add pepper to taste, and that's it! I served it with warm bread and dried olives. I've never had this kind of olives before. If you can get your hands on them, I can highly recommend them, they are delicious!

  2. Oooh, this looks good! I don't think I've ever had capers in a cheese spread. I'm thinking about so many new tastes because of you today!

    1. Capers and cheese go very well together. I am curious about the new tastes you're thinking of, might see them on your blog soon :-)

    1. I don't know many kids that like olives. I learned to appreciate them after high school :-) I eat them all the time now, guess I have to make up for the time I didn't like them.

    1. The bread was good too. It was store bought, making my own bread is on my to do list.

    1. Thanks Amber! Only the good (or good enough) looking food ends up here. There are also cooking experiments that look and taste quite disastrous...
