CHEF JOHN'S ALMOND ARUGULA PESTO



Chef John's Almond Arugula Pesto image

Arugula is also quite a beautiful herb. Fragrant, spicy, crisp; it makes a great pesto. I paired it with raw almonds for a combo that was just amazing on a grilled hanger steak. Subtle it's not, but that's okay sometimes.

ARUGULA PESTO



Arugula Pesto image

To most people, pesto means one thing: pesto Genovese, the famous and fabulous basil paste from the Italian Riviera. But there are sauces made with copious amounts of other herbs or greens not destined for pasta. They aren't called pestos, yet that's what they are - all made by grinding herbs and other ingredients to a paste, then thinning out and enriching with oil. This dish is inspired by one found in southern Italy. This sauce, like other forms of pesto, is all pungent with garlic. In addition to serving this vibrant pesto with pasta, it can be used with grains - risottos made with rice, barley, or wheat - and as a topping for tomatoes. It's great on its own, spooned onto a thick slice of country bread. Don't use a sharp olive oil with this, or it will overwhelm the arugula.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 2/3 cup

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 garlic cloves, cut in half, green shoots removed
2 heaped tablespoons shelled walnuts
4 ounces arugula, stemmed, washed and dried 2 cups leaves, tightly packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1/3 to 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan, to taste

Steps:

  • Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic cloves. When they are chopped and adhering to the sides, stop the machine, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the walnuts. Turn on the machine, and process until they are finely ground. Scrape down the bowl again, and add the arugula and the salt. Pulse until the arugula is finely chopped, then turn on the machine and run while you slowly drizzle in the olive oil. When the mixture is smooth, stop the machine, scrape down the sides and process for another 30 seconds or so. Scrape out into the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind the mixture with the pestle for a smoother texture. Work in the cheese and combine well.

  • Very quickly shock the greens, in boiling water for a second or two, and then immediately plunging it into ice water to stop the arugula from over cooking. This results in a bright green pesto.
  • Start by toasting the almonds, either whole or slivered, in a dry pan in the oven on 350F. It should only take about 5 minutes or so. Once the almonds are a light golden brown, and have a nutty smell, remove them from the oven and cool them completely.
  • To store the pesto simply portion it into little mason jars or other glass containers. If you plan on freezing the pesto, store it flat in ziploc bags or vacuum seal it into small bags.
