Arugula Spread

One of the best parts about growing vegetables is harvesting them. Tis' the season to harvest lettuce (left pic), spinach, arugula, radishes and other cool weather veggies. I use a simple metal colander to wash the dirt off the veggies. Its a basic tool that is required in every kitchen. If you'd like one, check it out at Foodbuzz

Below is a picture of my latest harvest - arugula. I made a spread out of it and it was very lovely and smooth. Quite pleasing!

 

Arugula Spread

• Handful of arugula leaves
• 1/4 cup Pine nuts or any nuts
• Half a cup of thick yogurt
• Salt
• 1 small garlic clove

Blast it through the food processor. Mix it well and thats it!

Originally I thought I was thinking of making arugula pesto but I think pesto is nowadays being corrupted to be any green mixture of nuts and cheese. So I respectfully call this an arugula spread. I used yogurt instead of cheese and olive oil to give it a spread like consistency. This is very nice with good bread and a simple fried egg.
