Parsley & Walnut Pesto

Parsley & Walnut Pesto

Also known as “Walnut Sauce” (but more like a paste) this is my favorite thing to do with parsley. The sauce can be thinned with water as needed for more traditional pesto uses (e.g., pasta) or non (e.g., green beans).

Cook Time: 15 minutes
Servings: Makes about 3/4 cup

Ingredients

  • 1/2 c chopped walnuts
  • 1 c packed flat leaf parsley
  • 2 T olive oil
  • 1 T tomato paste
  • 2-3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 t coarse salt (or to taste)


Directions


Place all ingredients in a food processor. Process until a smooth paste is formed. Add water as needed for desired consistency. Freezes well.
