Toasted Gnocchi & Kale Pesto

You don’t have to make pesto with basil, in fact, you can choose any green herb you’d like. We’ve gone a little more out of the box and use kale, a nutrient-powerhouse full of vitamin C & K. We’ve also swapped the classic pine nuts for sunflower seeds – equally delicious, but much more affordable.

Truffle Fries

The secret to great steakhouse-style fries is a combo of cheesy, coated fries dipped in aioli that’s flavoured with truffle oil. If truffles aren’t your jam, swap in Roasted Garlic Aioli Mix or Big Burger Sauce Mix. The creamy, garlicky flavour is a sublime substitute.
