I came up with this recipe when I found myself with a plethora of frozen peas. A friend of mine was leaving the country for 6 weeks and I ended up with 5 bags of frozen peas from her freezer. This is a heavier, sweeter twist to traditional basil pesto. Goes well with pasta or spread over bread and covered with cheese...yum! Add more lemon juice, basil, or garlic to taste. Ingredients:
1 cup frozen peas |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese |
2 cloves garlic, minced |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil |
ground black pepper to taste |
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil; add the peas and cook until softened. Drain.
2. Blend the peas, Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, basil, and pepper in a blender; while the it blends, stream the olive oil into the mixture.
