Basil-Mint Pesto image

From Bon Appetit The Best of the Year issue January 1996. The original recipe served this pesto with fresh fettuccine and grilled shrimp. Go ahead and use it with whatever you wish: pasta, fish, chicken, etc. Feel free to play around with the basil/mint ratio.

RICE NOODLES WITH THAI BASIL, MINT AND PEANUTS



Rice Noodles With Thai Basil, Mint and Peanuts image

Sort of a conglomeration of Asian cuisines. The original recipe has fresh cilantro only, but we liked both cilantro and Thai basil. From Bon Appetit April 1996. Rice noodles are available at Asian markets. I also like to throw in a fresh tomato or two (sliced or diced) to the mix.

1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 sweet onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
8 ounces firm dried rice noodles
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
