• 3 transfer nuts to a blender and add basil, garlic, parmesan and water. puree until a thick paste forms.
• 4 thaw the "cutlets" in the microwave on high for 1 minute.
• 5 use a knife to cut through each "cutlet", slicing it in half, but not so that you cut through to the other side. spoon the basil mixture into the space between the cutlet halves. do this for each "cutlet".
• 6 place the "cutlets" onto the baking sheet. season the "cutlets" with salt and black pepper. arrange potatoes and olives around the sides of the "cutlets".
• 7 whisk together vinegar, honey, and oil. pour mixture over "cutlets" and potatoes.
• 8 bake for 20 minutes, remove the "cutlets" and keep warm in a covered dish.
• 9 bake the potatoes and olives for another 25 minutes, or at least until the potatoes are tender when poked with a fork.
