Mizuna pesto

Mizuna pesto

Ingredients

  • 2 cups coarsely chopped mizuna or mustard greens (leaves not stems)
  • 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a food processor chop the garlic, romano, and walnuts. Add the mizuna, turn on food processor and drizzle the olive oil while it is running. Taste. If it has too much kick, add a couple more walnuts.
  2. Transfer the pesto to a jar with a tight fitting lid and chill it, covered.

Notes

The pesto keeps, covered and chilled, for 2 weeks. Makes about 1 cup. After boiling the pasta, reserve a couple of Tbsp. pasta water to mix into the pesto and then add to the pasta. Bowties or farfalle work very well with this recipe.
