Grilled Halibut with Parsley Chive Pesto

Dinner Party, Gluten Free, Paleo, Seafood, VegetarianRespond to this post »

With the fall upon us I feel I should be preparing more hearty fare.

Updating my repertoire of warming soups,  savory  stews and slow cooked braises.

But two things got in the way of that thought this week.

First,  is has been well into the mid 70’s.

Hooray.

Second,  I don’t just have a parsley bush in the garden.

It is more like a whole field.

It has burst out of the raised bed it was planted in, and is now growing in the mulched walkways as well.

I feel compelled to use it up before frost sets in.

And living in this part of Upstate New York, that could next week.

Okay not really, the forecast for the next week is quite warm.

Again, hooray!

I for one will be soaking up as much warmth and sunshine as possible.

I will have to get back to you with those soups, stews and braises……..
