A Year In Redwood

A slight variation on the normal basil pesto!  This came about because of an over-abundance of rocket….

An abundance of rocket!

As you can see we have an awful lot of rocket this year!  I didn’t plant any this year….. this is last year’s crop which has reappeared!  It is also quite a bit stronger in flavour this year.

We have been using it in salads, but just can’t eat it quick enough.  I thought I’d make some pesto before it goes to seed and we loose it totally.

This was a complete experiment so no measurements were taken – it was more based on how it was looking!

I had a basket of rocket and added olive oil slowly to it as it was blitzing.  Add a handful of toasted pine nuts, and I actually used some grated Mossfield Organic Mature cheese.

It tastes yummy!
