One little lie leads to another, and pretty soon you’re telling whoppers. To soothe your sense of guilt, you lie to yourself too. Maybe you tell yourself you’re not really lying but just “repackaging the facts.” Maybe you take up the motto “You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.” Maybe you repeat false philosophies you’ve heard in the classroom, like “Acts must be judged by their consequences.” Or maybe you just make excuses: “I know the end doesn’t usually justify the means, but my case is special.” Before long you’ve told so many lies that you can’t even remember the truth. Worse yet, people who forget the truth usually go on the forget the Truth – and I think you know Who I mean!

INGREDIENTS

1	lg	Pot basil; leaves only

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas Mark 6.
Place the basil, garlic, walnuts and 6 tablespoons of olive oil into
a food processor and blend until a paste is formed. Transfer to a
bowl and stir in the cheese. Cover and refrigerate.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy based
frying pan.
Wash the skate wings and pat dry. Season the flour with salt and
freshly ground black pepper and lightly coat the skate wings on both
sides, shaking off any excess.
Seal the skate quickly in the frying pan, approximately 1-2 minutes
each side, then transfer to a baking tray.
Spread the pesto evenly over the skate wings and bake in the oven for
15-20 minutes, until the flesh is firm and no longer translucent.
Toss the capers in the hot frying pan until crispy and leave to one
side.
Serve the skate sprinkled with the crispy capers.
Notes This dish is delicious served with roasted tomatoes and warm
crusty bread.
