In my haste I never took a picture of the clump of G.C. chives my thoughtful friend Naomi brought to me yesterday. Here is what was left over in the spinner.....it may be hard to tell from the photograph, but the leaves of this variety are actually flat like a blade of grass. Flat and yummy. Mmmm.......
So there you have it, a bowl of the green stuff- ready to be piled onto a cracker, chip, chicken, pasta, some string cheese, or a plain old spoon. ♡ I added olive oil, a grind or two of sea salt, a handful of raw cashews, and a good amount of lemon juice to make this pesto. Oh, and a pinch of suger to compliment the lemon juice. I am in heaven. Seriously, I find this stuff that good!
(Thank-you Naomi!!)

Yum! I think I may make this tomorrow!
Could you do a pesto for dummies recipe for me? i have tons of these chives growing (they grow well in Florida) but don't see your recipie.
S.P.P.- That is cause I don't have one! :)
I put the chives in a food processor, grated in some parmesan cheese, and added a few glugs of olive oil, and dropped in a handful of cashews (which you could leave out all together I think). You can always just taste test as you go, and if the chives aren't blending well- they need more oil. I added the lemon juice, bit of salt, and pinch of sugar in towards the end. Just blend and add as you go until it suits your tastes. There is probably a recipe out there somewhere....but this was my first time making it. Hope that helps!!
Thanks! You do recopies like me, i.e., few plugs of olive oil." Perfect! After our Saturday errands I'm going to try this!
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Thank you so much for the idea--I have unbelievable amounts of these growing in my yard. They grow like weeds in Tennessee and I'm always glad to find another way to use them!
Great recipe! I just made it from some chives my neighbor gave me! Yummy
