Ingredients
- 2 2 lb small potatoes
- 1 1 medium red onion thickly sliced
- 2 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ ¼ cup sliced basil leaves
Scallion Pesto
- ½ ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ ¼ cup chopped green onions green parts only
- ¼ ¼ cup basil leaves
- 2 2 tablespoons lemon juice fresh is best
- 2 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
- 1 1 clove garlic
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a medium-size pot, add enough cold water to cover them, then bring them to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes, or until they can be pierced with a toothpick. Remove them from the heat, drain, and set them aside to cool.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the pesto. Combine the pesto ingredients in a small food processor or blender and blend on medium speed until mostly smooth. Taste and salt as needed.
- Preheat your BBQ to medium-high heat. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut them in half and put them into a medium-sized bowl. Add the red onion, oil, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the pesto and toss to coat.
- Grill the potatoes and onions for about 5 minutes, until they begin to char.
- Transfer the potatoes and onions to a bowl and toss with the scallion pesto and sliced basil leaves.
