hey girl!

Last week we went to Harrys Farmers Market and got some great pistachio crusted halibut. It was amazing, so I tried to recreate it at home with great results:

1c shelled pistachios
1/2 c bread crumbs
1tsp each fresh rosemary and basil

Blend above in food processor until pistachios are a good texture for a crust.

Combine an egg and a little milk in a bowl, get some flour on a plate with some salt and pepper, dip the chicken breasts in the flour, then the egg mix, then the pistachio mix, and cook on low to med heat in a skillet until done. The pistachios will burn if you do it at a higher heat than that.

I'm making banana bread tomorrow that involves rum and coconut, so I'll let you know how that turns out too.
