description
An unusual and very aromatic pesto :)
preparation
step 1
Boil the barley (if like me, use the unpeeled pearly must be soaked at least 3-4 hours before and then boiled for 15-20 minutes, alternatively cook directly under pressure for 10-15 minutes without soaking); drain and let it cool.
step 2
For the pesto: wash and let the rocket dry well. If, like me, you use a blender with 500 W or more, just insert all the ingredients inside it except the rocket (one handful at a time) and the water (which you will dose to the minimum, as it will have to make a cream)
step 3
NB: If the blender is of inferior power perhaps the advice is to firstly fry a rocket otherwise you risk breaking the resistance of the blender,
step 4
once chopped the whole presentation in the picture was made with a simple coppapasta; at the base the pesto was spread, then the coppapasta was placed, and 50 g of boiled barley was added, then to close the slices of tomato, oil, salt and the basil leaves.
