Food waste is a topic I feel strongly about, but I am not immune from the cycle of purchasing with good intentions and throwing certain things away time after time. My most wasted item is fresh herbs. But I have a solution: make a sauce with your herbs right away and keep it in the fridge or freezer. This versatile miso herb sauce will last for several days in the fridge and a few weeks in the freezer and can be used in a variety of dishes, preserving the gorgeous color and flavor of your favorite herbs before they get the chance to die forgotten in a corner of your refrigerator.

Versatile Miso Herb Sauce

This flavor-packed miso herb sauce can be made with any fresh herbs you have on hand. The miso and lemon juice help brighten and intensify the unique herb flavors. Here are a few of my favorite combinations and ways to use them:

  • dill and basil are lovely added to a cream sauce for pasta for a fun pesto alternative
  • cilantro and parsley are a great combination to drizzle over burrito bowls and tacos
  • mint and cilantro make for a great accompaniment for Indian-style dishes
  • cilantro and basil is one of my favorite combinations, pictured below stirred into a bowl of warm brothy white beans

  • Author: Jillian

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 oz herbs of choice, tough stems removed
  • pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Instructions

In a blender with a tamper or a food processor, add the herbs, salt, lemon juice, and miso paste. If you want a very smooth sauce, a blender is the way to go but if you want or don’t mind a bit of texture, the food processor will do the job.  Blend until fully broken down, then add the olive oil, with the machine running if possible. Keep blending for about 60-90 seconds to emulsify the oil.  Use right away or store in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
