NASTURTIUM PESTO

Nasturtium Pesto image

Nasturtiums are often seen as an ornamental flower in the garden, and sometimes even as a weed with how prolific it is, but it's actually a highly nutritious leafy green that can be turned into pesto!

Provided by Linda Ly

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 cups packed nasturtium leaves
2 cups packed nasturtium flowers
1 1/2 cups olive oil
5 cloves garlic
1 to 1 1/2 cups walnuts
1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Pick a basket full of fresh, healthy leaves and flowers without any blemishes. If your plants aren't blooming yet, using only the leaves is fine too.
Thoroughly wash and dry the leaves and flowers; tear larger leaves in half.
Add the leaves, flowers, garlic, olive oil, walnuts, and Parmesan to a blender or food processor. I like my pesto extra nutty and extra cheesy, so I use the full 1 1/2 cups for each ingredient.
Blend all the ingredients until the mixture is smooth.
Ladle the pesto into small jars, refrigerate, and enjoy! It should keep for up to two weeks.

Attract Beneficial Insects. Nasturtiums will attract a range of beneficial insects to your garden – including bees and other pollinators. Adding nasturtiums in your outside space is one way to help honey bees and other bee species that are under threat due to climate change and human activity.
As A Companion Plant For Your Fruits & Veggies. It is not only pollinators that will be attracted to nasturtiums. These plants also attract pest insect species such as aphids, weevils and beetles making the nasturtiums a brilliant companion plant in the vegetable garden.
For Ground Cover. Companion planting is not an exact science, and the many ways in which plants interact with one another and with garden wildlife is not entirely understood.
To Cover Unsightly Walls or Fences. The quick growing nasturtium can also be handy to improve the visual appeal of your garden, as it can be used to trail down unsightly walls or fences.
For Their Yield. Many people are surprised to learn that nasturtiums are edible. These plants not only aid other plants in your kitchen garden, they can also be an incredibly useful edible crop in their own right.

Wash the nasturtium leaves and shake them dry (they can be slightly wet). Toast the nuts (it intensifies their flavor and I love it) - put them in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds or so. Cook for 2-3 minutes - until they start to smell good. Then take them off the heat, or they will burn (fast!)
Fill your food processor up 3/4 of the way, loosely, with leaves. Blend until they are chopped. Add more leaves, blend. Continue this until all of the leaves are blended up.
