Ingredients
- 10 garlic scapes
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 parmesan cheese
- salt
- pepper
Method
- Rinse scapes in cold water, then roughly chop into half-inch pieces.
- Processing - Pour scapes and slivered almonds into the bowl of your food processor. Blend for 30 seconds, or until a fairly smooth texture is achieved. Scrape down sides of bowl with your rubber spatula.
- With the machine running, slowly add olive oil, and process until thoroughly incorporated, about 15 seconds. Then add the Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and blend for another 5 seconds. Taste carefully - you might like to add more salt and pepper.
- Although this pesto is good freshly made, it is even better when refrigerated for several hours or overnight. Before chilling, place the pesto in a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
- Garlic scapes are available only from June through mid-July. Consequently you might want to buy lots of them, as I do, and make several batches of pesto. These you can freeze in air-tight containers for up three months.
