Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arugula Pesto

    In a food processor, combine arugula, olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and adjust seasoning to taste.

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    Slice the tomatoes and set aside.

  3. 3

    Blacken the Spice

    Generously coat your protein (like chicken, steak, or fish) with the blackening spice on both sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the Protein

    Heat a skillet over high heat and sear the seasoned protein for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place the blackened protein, top it with crumbled Roquefort blue cheese, a generous dollop of arugula pesto, and arrange the sliced tomatoes around.
