Pesto sauce is a legendary creation of Italian cuisine, hailing from sunny Genoa. Its rich flavor is a symphony of fresh basil, the nutty tenderness of pine nuts, the piquancy of two great cheeses—Parmesan and Pecorino—and the velvetiness of the finest olive oil. It embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean, where simple yet refined ingredients come together in perfect harmony. Pesto is traditionally served with pasta, especially trofie or Ligurian gnocchi, but its magnificence also shines when paired with meat, fish, vegetables or simply on toasted bread. Its preparation is an art that requires patience and respect for tradition: grinding in a mortar releases aromas that create something more than just a sauce—it becomes a true culinary masterpiece.

The most interesting thing in this recipe is the herring. Nowadays we don't mix meat and fish in one dish, but it was common in the 19th century. Most likely, this method was an imitation of French and Italian history, where beef and veal are cooked with anchovies. And if you remember the classic forshmak, it is boiled and mashed veal with salted fish - anchovies or herring. Now this tradition is almost lost
