Sometimes you simply have to chow down on some snacks. A good book, an interesting movie, a meeting with friends; the snacks disappear without trace in a moment. Crunchy snacks, crisps, nuts and salty sticks have an unusual property: You reach out for the first one and suddenly the bowl is empty regardless of how many snacks there were at the beginning. There is no point discussing the nutritional value of salty snacks, because of course we don't eat them to follow a sensible diet . Sometimes one just has to do it.

Today I would like to share with you a recipe for snacks which you can prepare at home in a jiffy. This dish tastes best hot, so I propose making it together with friends. A bottle of red wine, which is excellent for finger rolls with French pastry, can be opened even earlier .

The finger rolls are also great for cream soup, which we often serve with croutons. To prepare finger rolls we need basil pesto. Try to make it yourself – it isn't so difficult. When you don't have enough time or you don't like cooking, use ready pesto from a jar.

I found the recipe for finger rolls in the online Lidl cookery book.

Ingredients:
pesto:
a tuft of basil
20 g of cashew nuts
100 g of grated parmesan
1 clove of garlic
4 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper
finger rolls
1 pack of chilled French pastry
1 egg
1 tablespoon of sesame seeds

Heat the oven up to 200C. Cover a baking sheet with some baking paper.
Blend all the ingredients of the pesto thoroughly. Spice it up with salt and pepper.
Spread the pesto onto the French pastry. Cut along the shorter side in 2 cm strips. Twist each strip into a fusilli shape. Put them onto the paper, keeping them separate. Brush each finger with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake for 12-15 minutes until they are golden.

Enjoy your meal!
