Pesto & Potatoes
Pesto & Potatoes

July 10, 2025

Playing around in the kitchen with new ingredients is always fun for me. When I saw gochujang at Trader Joe’s, I picked some up with no real plan. It sat in my pantry for weeks – maybe months – before I happened upon a side dish at a restaurant that used it to make a sauce on which they served roasted broccolini. I immediately got to work to create my own version of this dynamite combination, which includes a sweet-and-spicy Gochujang Sauce that creates the perfect bed for roasted broccolini with just a bit of char. The results were just too good not to share.
