Rocket Pesto Recipe


Rocket Pesto Recipe
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
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • Kosher salt and fresh black pepper to taste
  • About 1/4 cup good olive oil

Directions
  1. 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.
  2. Add arugula, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper to blender or food processor.
  3. Blend, drizzling olive oil slowly until mixture has become a smooth paste.
  4. Store in fridge, or freeze in ice-cube tray for individual size servings.
