Incredibly basic, versatile topping -- great for drizzling over meat and seafood, or as a pizza/pasta topping. (One of my favorite pizza topping combos is arugula pesto with roasted tomatoes and chopped kalamata olives).
Ingredients
- 2 bunches arugula, rinsed and roughly chopped shopping list
- juice and zest of 1 lemon shopping list
- kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste shopping list
- About 1/4 cup good olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- Optional: blanch arugula briefly in boiling water; this will help preserve its bright green color and soften it up a little for the blending step.
- Add arugula, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper to blender or food processor.
- Blend, drizzling olive oil slowly until mixture has become a smooth paste.
- Store in fridge, or freeze in ice-cube tray for individual size servings.
