Recipe by Joanne Weir
Plum tomatoes work best in this recipe; juicier tomatoes would thin the pesto. No need to seed or peel them. You can make the pesto ahead and keep it chilled. Stir in the tomatoes just before serving.
Ingredients
- 2 cups basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
- 2 tablespoons extravirgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chopped plum tomato (about 3 medium)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- To prepare pesto, combine first 4 ingredients in a food processor; process until smooth. Add cheese and red pepper; process until blended. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add tomato, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper, stirring gently to combine.
- Preheat broiler.
- To prepare fish, sprinkle fish with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Arrange fish on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and broil 8 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Place 1/2 cup orzo on each of 6 plates, and top each serving with 1 fillet and 1/4 cup pesto.
