Re: Pesto
I do that with big tomato halves LTC, pesto, crumbs and a touch of extra evoo if the crumbs are dry
Never thought of doing it with mushrooms, sounds good. Would be nice with halved round courgettes I think, make a change from stuffing them
I sometime pot a bit in the dressing for a tomato salad if there’s a jar open and no fresh basil

Oh never thought of big tomatoes done that way, thanks Sue
Re: Pesto
Uses: On bruschetta or crouton fingers with mushroom/toms; with hardboiled eggs or eggy pies/flans; as dip or drizzle with plain pizza or pissaladiere; as dressing on warm new spuds or baked ones; spread inside salad-filled pita bread or picnic loaves/ciabatta torpedoes or with veg meze platter; in/on some soups; and the grand finale: stirred into bog standard Branston baked beans.
Re: Pesto
We use it in sarnies, omelettes, with scrambled egg, on new potatoes. We like it with roast cauliflower. Dennis Cotter, whose recipe I use as a basic starting point suggests using it as a sauce for risotto, fritters, roasted veg, grilled cheese.
Some fabulous ideas here It really is incredibly versatile, isn't it

I like it in potato salad. Wild garlic pesto works particularly well. Nice with baked fish too.

Quite a bit of mine gets eaten by the spoonful every time I go into the fridge...
Re: Pesto
Thanks mark111757 - all variation ideas welcome here
Looking at the shakshuka recipe you linked, I'm wondering if Australian smoked paprika is special, or more like cayenne, as only 1/4 teaspoon is listed for two cans of toms. Maybe it's a mistake as that amount of "our" smoked paprika would make no difference at all.
Egg+toms+pesto is a great match though.

I like to put pesto on top of salmon, then pressing in panko breadcrumbs before baking.
