Recipe: Arugula Pesto
Opening day at the Boulder County Farmers' Market was a smashing success. Customer turn out was so fabulous that our recipes and pesto samples were snatched up fast. Visit us this Saturday and sample a European favorite — Radish Butter with Lemon and Parsley.

Ingredients:

2 cups packed arugula leaves
½ cup walnuts
½ cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
5 cloves garlic

Method:

  1. Brown garlic with skins on in a skillet over medium high heat until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove garlic from pan, cool and remove skins.
  2. Lightly toast the walnuts in a pan over medium heat.
  3. Combine the arugula, walnuts, roasted garlic in a food processor. Pulse while drizzling olive oil into the processor.
  4. Scrape mixture into a bowl then stir in the parmesan cheese.
  5. Mix pesto with freshly prepared pasta of your choice or serve with crackers, bread or crostini alone or with goat cheese.

We post new recipes on our website every week.
