Basic Delicious Pesto

1 C Cilantro, Basil or Parsley (leaves only)

½ C chopped Garlic Scapes*

½ C olive oil

2 -3 Tbs Pine Nuts or Walnuts (optional)

3-5 chopped Scallion tops (optional)

3-4 Tbs Parmesan Cheese (optional)

 

Put all ingredients into a food processor. Mix until combined into a paste and enjoy! Add to pasta, veggie dishes, salads, eggs, or just on a cracker! *For a less strong garlic flavor used blanched or quickly sautéed garlic scapes instead of raw. This is a very flexible recipe that can be modified to your preferences, so play around! This can be frozen for up to 12 months and enjoyed all year.
