Say what??? Since we've been snowed in Brad's apartment for the last 40ish hours (thank you Snowstorm Nemo), it was time to go out on a snowy adventure. After playing in the snow, we ventured over to Whole Foods to see if it was open, and it was! What should we make! We decided earlier that we should bring $20 with us, just in case it was open and we needed to buy something.
Well, pre-made pesto is pretty pricey (especially at Whole Foods), so we decided to make our own from scratch.
What is a Batman Sandwich you ask? This is a Stamm Family tradition. Baguette, pesto, (optional tomato), and fresh mozzarella slices. Stack, eat, repeat.
Ingredients
Pesto:
1 large package fresh basil (stems removed)
2 cloves garlic
3/4 cup grated parmesan
olive oil - you'll have to play with this to see how much to add
salt to taste
Directions
Add basil, chopped garlic, parmesan, and salt together. Drizzle a little olive oil in and use the immersion blender to "immershe" it. Slowly add more olive oil until it is the proper consistency. Leave it a little chunky, you don't want it super smooth. You will probably need 3/4 of a cup or so in total...but it's always easier to add than take away.
Why is this called a batman sandwich?
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, it has something to do with a trip my mom and sister took to Washington DC and it came from there. I don't know the whole story, but that's just what we call it!
