November 21, 2011
"This is not as hard as you think it’s actually quite easy to prepare and may be made well in advance, it looks great and taste wonderful the filling is similar to sun-dried tomato pesto, it really can be rolled from either the long end or short, you can garnish the roll with fresh basil leaves, nuts or whatever you like. There is a 2 hour chilling time before serving, I recommend making this a day ahead Serve with crackers"
