ARUGULA PISTACHIO PESTO



Arugula Pistachio Pesto image

Arugula pistachio pesto is a great twist on the classic basil pesto. It's peppery, nutty, and cheesy. It will be great as a pasta sauce or a salad dressing.

Categories     condiment     sauce

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4.4 oz (125g) arugula, 5 cups packed leaves
1 cup (90g) grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup (60g) shelled roasted and salted pistachios
zest of 1 lemon
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp olive oil (135ml)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Wash the arugula in cold water and spin dry in a salad spinner (optional, you can just drain it well if you don't have a salad spinner).
  • Add all the ingredients, except the olive oil, to a food processor bowl. Pulse until a thick paste forms (scrape the ingredients from the sides of the bowl from time to time).
  • Add the olive oil and pulse the sauce at the lowest speed until well combined or whisk in the olive oil by hand.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add more olive oil if you want a thinner consistency of your pesto.
  • Enjoy!

ARUGULA PISTACHIO PESTO CHICKEN



Arugula Pistachio Pesto Chicken image

Provided by Guy Fieri

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 to 4-pound whole chicken
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper, divided
5 cups arugula
7 cloves garlic, peeled and divided
1 lemon, halved
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 cup shelled pistachios
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch
3/4 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Rinse the chicken under cold water and pat dry. Slip your fingers under the breast skin and gently create a pocket the length of both breasts. Season the inside of the cavity with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Add the arugula and 5 cloves of the garlic to a food processor fitted a blade. Pulse 3 to 4 times, then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper, squeeze in the juice of 1/2 lemon and pulse 3 to 4 more times. Add the cheese and pistachios, and with the processor running, drizzle in the olive oil. Scrape down sides and pulse a few more times. Adjust seasoning, if necessary.
  • Gently work half of the pesto under the breast skin. Reserve the other half of the pesto. Put the other lemon half into the cavity along with the remaining 2 peeled garlic cloves. Rub the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Season the outside of the chicken with the remaining salt and pepper. Tuck the wing tips under the bird, and truss the chicken. Put the chicken, on its side, into a roasting pan and put in hot oven. Roast at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes, rotate chicken onto other side, and roast for 15 minutes more. Carefully turn chicken onto its back (breast side up), reduce heat to 350 degrees F and roast for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, begin basting it with the pan juices. Repeat until chicken is done and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F.
  • Remove the roasting pan from the oven, put the chicken on a carving board and tent it with foil. Remove the fat on the top of the pan juices. Put the roasting pan over a burner on medium heat and add 1/3 cup of the reserved pesto. Stir and incorporate it into the pan juices along with any bits that might be on the bottom of the pan. Whisk the cornstarch and the half-and-half in a small bowl and slowly add it to the pan. Stir continually until the mixture starts to thicken. Adjust seasonings, if necessary, and pour it into a serving bowl.
  • Carve the chicken, arrange it on a serving platter and serve with the sauce.

  • Cut the parsley and arugula a bit using your scissors. In a food processor or blender, pulse the parsley and arugula with the grated Parmesan, shelled pistachios, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and pepper together until finely chopped.
  • With the food processor or blender still running, slowly drizzle in the extra virgin olive oil until it is completely combined. Turn off the food processor or blender as soon as it comes together. You don't want to overmix the pesto or let the mixture get hot. Scrape down the sides using a rubber spatula, then pulse again quickly until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season to taste.
  • Serve the pesto immediately or fill it into a sealable plastic or glass container. You can refrigerate your pesto in a sealed container for a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
