Sauces and Spreads

PESTOS are typically Italian sauces consisting of basil, pine nuts, salt, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and either Parmesan or Parmigiano Reggianno cheese. They are excellent on pasta, as a finishing sauce on soups, or spread on crackers or bread.

A TAPENADE is a Provencal product consisting of pureed or finely chopped olives, capers, and anchovies in olive oil. It may also contain garlic, herbs, tuna, lemon juice, or brandy. A popular dish in the south of France, it may be eaten as an hors d’oeuvre, spread on toast, or used to stuff filets as a main course.

A CONFIT (cone-fee) is one of the oldest ways to preserve food, and is a specialty of southwestern France. Both fruit and meat confits involve immersion in a substance which both flavors and preserves the product. Fruit confits are preserved in sugar while meat confits, confit of duck for example, is preserved in herbs, salt, and a savory broth or fat.
