Garlic Scape Pesto
- 8 garlic scapes (½ cup chopped)
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup walnuts
- 1 cup basil leaves
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ cup olive oil, plus more if desired
Instructions
-
Chop the garlic scapes: Remove and discard the bulb end of the garlic scapes. Then remove any tough stems from the other end of the garlic scapes and chop them into small pieces.
- Place everything except the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Then turn on the machine and drizzle in the olive oil. Add additional olive oil if desired for a runnier consistency. The resulting pesto is very garlicky, so use it sparingly!
- Freezes very well! I usually freeze it without the cheese, and add the cheese when I thaw it.
