Farmers Garlic Scape Pesto
A delicious way to enjoy garlic scapes straight from the field.
Equipment
- Food processor
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- ¾ cup coarsely chopped garlic scapes
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup olive oil extra virgin
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese grated
Instructions
- In a small, dry pan set over very low heat, lightly toast the pine nuts, stirring or tossing occasionally until just beginning to brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool for a few minutes.
- Combine the scapes, pine nuts, lemon juice and zest, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse about 20 times, until fairly well combined.
- Pour in the olive oil slowly through the feed tube while the motor is running. When the oil is incorporated, transfer the pesto to a bowl and stir in the grated cheese.
Notes
If you plan to freeze the pesto, wait to add the cheese until after you've defrosted it.
