Purslane Pesto by

Tags: garlic, claytonia

Modified from ProportionalPlate.com.

Ingredients

Full share Veggie Box Claytonia -- stems removed,
some small stems OK
3 cloves Veggie Box garlic
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts, walnuts, or pistachios
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Trim the Claytonia by removing all the large and
medium stems. Keep the leaves, tops, and thin stems.
You can taste the different parts to see which ones
you want to keep. Quarter or roughly chop the garlic.
Toast nuts over medium heat, keeping an eye on them
to make sure they don't burn. Put the Claytonia, garlic,
toasted nuts, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a food
processor or blender. With the food processor/blender
running, slowly add the olive oil. Finely grate the
parmesan into a medium-sized bowl. Add the contents
of the food processor to the parmesan. Taste, then
season with salt and pepper as desired.
