Delicious and Nutritious: Indulge in the vibrant flavors of garlic scape pesto, a healthy and versatile condiment bursting with the goodness of fresh ingredients.

Ingredients

1 cup basil leaves (gently packed)
150 grams garlic (scape)
⅓ cup walnuts
6-8 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh)
½ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

1
Wash and trim any tough ends off the garlic scapes. Chop into small bits.
2
Add the scapes, walnuts, 6 tbsp/90ml olive oil, and lemon juice to a blender or food processor.
3
Pulse until everything is finely chopped. Add more olive oil as needed.
4
Add the basil leaves and blend on low until desired consistency is reached. If the mix is too dry (especially with larger more mature garlic scapes), you can add a bit of water.
5
Add the salt and pulse a couple times to distribute. Taste and add salt and lemon juice as desired.
6
Can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for 1 week or in the freezer for 1 month.
