Last year, I didn't do anything with the arugula I planted. It just took up space in the garden. This year, I was determined to make something - anything - out of it.
I did some research and discovered that people actually make pesto out of arugula (which isn't very surprising since I've made pesto out of basil and spinach before), so I decided to give it a shot.
I found a Martha Stewart recipe and modified it. The resulting pesto was pretty yummy. Even Arthur enjoyed it.
Arugula Pesto
Makes about 1 cup pesto; about 2-4 servings
2 cups arugula, packed
1/4 cup walnut oil + 1/4 cup olive oil (or 1/2 cup olive oil)
2 tbs. walnuts
1/4 Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
1/2 tsp. sea salt, or more to taste
Place all ingredients in blender, blend until smooth.
Blessed be.
