Kathy says, "This stuff is great right out of the mixer - but even better with veggies, chips, bread, pizza, salad, avocado, etc. Freeze into small portions for use later in the year!" Yum!
- 1 cup garlic scapes, cut into 1" pieces
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/3 cup pine nuts
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
- In a food processor, process the garlic scapes and basil for 30 seconds. If you are doubling the recipe, pause the process to scrape down the bowl if needed.
- Add the nuts and process for another 30 seconds. Again, if doubling, scrape the bowl as needed.
- Slowly drizzle in the olive oil as you continue to run the food processor. (Hint: pour the oil into the cup with the small hole in the bottom, as if you were making mayonnaise.)
- Add the parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and salt and pepper. Mix and taste, adding the salt and pepper as desired.
