Little Dove Cafe

As we approach the end of the year, we are excited to be planning some great camping adventures around this amazing island, full of color and unique, magical corners!

I would like to thank all parents for the amazing support we’ve received with our lunch program. We are always open to feedback and happy to introduce your favorite dish for next year.

Our menu is seasonal and includes a wide variety of vegetables, grown through hard work by Luciano and Stan, with a huge helping hand from all the kids. 

It’s amazing to see the amount of flavors these organic ingredients bring to our dishes.

I’d also like to share with you our popular pasta al pesto recipe. It’s become a favorite, and it’s a super vigorous dish, made with fresh, raw ingredients.

Ingredients:

Nut free pesto 

Serve 4 

75 gr pepitas

75 gr sunflower kernels

2/3 garlic cloves

300gr spinach

1 bunch basil 

100 gr grated parmesan 

150 ml extra virgin olive oil 

Recipe:

• Wash and dry the spinach and the basil.
• Roast the pepitas and sunflower kernels in a fry pan.
• Using a food processor or stick blender, combine all the ingredients, adding salt to taste. Blend until you have a nice, smooth, and vibrant green sauce. If needed, add more olive oil to achieve the desired consistency.

You can add this pesto to cooked pasta or use as a dip for a snack time!

I wish you all a fantastic and unforgettable Christmas, filled with great company, good friends and off course all kinds of healthy and indulgent food!

Remember to keep moving after meals, play outside on those beautiful summer evenings, turn off the screens and reconnect with nature. 

All the best for an adventurous New Year!
