Swiss Chard Pesto
Submitted by Susan Linville
Wed Apr 29 2009
Ingredients

2 cups fresh swiss chard, packed
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup walnuts
3 or more medium sized garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

Pulse walnuts in food processor a few times until chopped. Add swiss chard and pulse a few more times until integrated pretty well. Add the garlic and pulse a few times more.

Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while the food processor is on. Scrape down the sides every now and then to keep everything mixing. Add the grated cheese and mix until blended. Add salt and pepper to taste. Makes one cup of pesto.

Spoon over bread, serve with pasta, or eat it right off the spoon like our son Mose.
