Vibrant Arugula Pesto Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup arugula leaves, or more to taste
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup raw almonds
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • salt to taste
Instructions
1
Begin by filling a large container with water, adding a moderate amount of salt to the water.
2
Bring the water to a rolling boil and then carefully add a handful of arugula to the boiling water.
3
Allow the arugula to cook for approximately 30 seconds, or until it has reached a vibrant green color.
4
Immediately transfer the cooked arugula to a bowl filled with ice-cold water, allowing it to rapidly chill and lose its heat.
5
Once the arugula has cooled, carefully lift it out of the ice water and drain off any excess moisture.
6
Next, combine the cooled arugula, a generous amount of olive oil, some chopped almonds, and minced garlic in a blender.
7
Blend the ingredients together until they form a rough, chunky mixture, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
8
Pour the blended mixture into a separate bowl and add a pinch of salt to taste.
