"I love pesto & found this recipe in Australian Good Taste, it is recommended to serve with roast turkey but I served it with an Italian basted roast lamb & it was still delicious."

directions

  • Strain the pan juices into a large heatproof jug. Use a metal spoon to skim as much fat as possible from the surface.
  • Place the roasting pan (used to roast your meat) over medium heat. Add the flour and use a fork to stir for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture bubbles. Gradually add 125ml (1/2 cup) of the wine and cook, scraping the pan with the back of the fork to dissolve any bits that have cooked onto the base, until the mixture returns to the boil.
  • Gradually add remaining wine, pan juices and stock to the pan, stirring with a wooden spoon until smooth. Boil gently for 10 minutes or until the mixture has the consistency of thin cream. Stir in pesto. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Pour into a warmed jug and serve immediately.

  1. This for a few ingredients is excellent, what a wonderful flavour. I served this to go with some lamb fillets I had on hand. I made as is except I served this with your Recipe#241407 and had extra parsley left from what was required for that recipe so I added it to this. Simply wonderful and all my family thought so. Although I did not do a roast but I did add and make sauce in the same pan as I cooked the lamb fillet and scrapped up all the brown bits. A really lovely different gravy to serve with lamb which my family and I thought worked really well.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa. Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks. As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
