Winter calls for more warm side dishes, and what better than a hearty tasty vege stack. I make my own pesto, but if you are short on time, you can buy some decent store brought ones that will do the trick. A perfect side dish for a steak or chicken, you can even make this the main part of your meal, and add a big side of steamed veges. These vege stacks taste even better the next day, so if you have enough ingredients, make a double batch and you will have lunch sorted for the following day!
