Garden Pesto
Sometimes
you’re craving pesto but you’ve got a lot of other garden herbs and
greens screaming for attention so what do you do? Whip up a batch of
garden pesto, which makes use of ingredients like spinach, parsley and
chives to help create a bright, flavorful pesto waiting to go on pasta
or have bread or veggies dipped in it. I use lots of garlic in this
because that is how I roll but if you’re not in the mood to repel
vampires yourself, feel free to reduce the amount. Olive oil is not
necessary but will make for a richer pesto. Even one tablespoon is
enough but, again, it’s not necessary. If the pesto is too dry and you
don’t want to add oil, try adding vegetable stock by the tablespoon,
understanding that it won’t taste exactly like traditional pesto.
