Seriously, you can make a pesto out of anything green. Just had some nuts, garlic, olive oil, and cheese. I had mezzaluna pasta stuffed with blue cheese so I wanted to make a complimentary pesto. Two minutes later, it was ready:
Ingredients
- 1 bunch of watercress
- 1 oz blue cheese
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 oz walnuts
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for about 3-4 minutes. Chop finely and add to a bowl. Cut off the stem-y part of the watercress and chop the rest up. Add the watercress, blue cheese, minced garlic, and olive oil to the walnuts. Mix to create a paste, adding more olive oil as necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Extra pesto can be frozen.
