The homemade Pesto Basil Roll is just fantastic. I am still deciding on the missing ingredient. I think some crisp apple slices would work well with the roll. The Pesto is so easy to make: two cups of basil, 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup walnuts, 3-4 cloves of garlic, salt and pepper, and topped with 1/3 cup of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
The other roll that's on it's way to becoming a classic is the "Thanksgiving" Roll. So far I have fried potatoes (fried on really high heat so they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside), spiced with curry powder, cinnamon, coriander powder, and a hint of cumin. The potato works so well with the flavor, but I'm missing the other ingredient. I tried grilled figs and added some walnuts for crunch, and I also tried spicy hot mustard for a little kick. I have the essence of it, but it's not perfect yet.
