Spinach And Arugula Pesto Food
BASIL, SPINACH AND ARUGULA PESTO
Steps:
- For the garlic confit. Heat 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a small pan over low heat until warm. Add garlic cloves and cook until very soft, about 30 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic cloves, reserving both cloves and oil.
- For the pesto: Have a large bowl of ice water ready. In a small pot over high heat, bring 4 cups of water to a boil, and blanch basil or chervil until tender, about 30 seconds. Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to ice water. Place spinach and arugula in boiling water until bright green and tender, about a minute. Drain well and transfer to ice water. When greens are well chilled, drain well, place in a kitchen towel, and squeeze as hard as possible to remove excess moisture.
- In a blender, combine half the garlic cloves, half of the garlic cooking oil, half of the blanched greens (basil or chervil, spinach, and arugula), half of the hazelnuts and half of the ricotta salata. Blend five minutes.
- Add the remaining garlic cloves, garlic cooking oil, blanched greens, hazelnuts and ricotta salata. Blend, adding 1/4 cup additional olive oil, or more as needed, for two to five minutes, to make a thick but pourable pesto. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Blend one minute more. If desired, serve over hot linguini or other pasta.

ARUGULA PESTO
To most people, pesto means one thing: pesto Genovese, the famous and fabulous basil paste from the Italian Riviera. But there are sauces made with copious amounts of other herbs or greens not destined for pasta. They aren't called pestos, yet that's what they are - all made by grinding herbs and other ingredients to a paste, then thinning out and enriching with oil. This dish is inspired by one found in southern Italy. This sauce, like other forms of pesto, is all pungent with garlic. In addition to serving this vibrant pesto with pasta, it can be used with grains - risottos made with rice, barley, or wheat - and as a topping for tomatoes. It's great on its own, spooned onto a thick slice of country bread. Don't use a sharp olive oil with this, or it will overwhelm the arugula.

Steps:
- Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic cloves. When they are chopped and adhering to the sides, stop the machine, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the walnuts. Turn on the machine, and process until they are finely ground. Scrape down the bowl again, and add the arugula and the salt. Pulse until the arugula is finely chopped, then turn on the machine and run while you slowly drizzle in the olive oil. When the mixture is smooth, stop the machine, scrape down the sides and process for another 30 seconds or so. Scrape out into the bowl of a mortar and pestle. Grind the mixture with the pestle for a smoother texture. Work in the cheese and combine well.

- Set a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Toast the garlic cloves until their skin begins to darken on one side. Turn the cloves and repeat on the other sides.
- Remove the garlic cloves and set aside. Reduce the heat to low and add the pine nuts. Toast until golden-brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, peel and trim the garlic cloves.
- Place the mixed greens, garlic, pine nuts, and pepper flakes (if using) in a food processor; pulse to coarsely chop. Process the mixture while drizzling in 1 cup of the olive oil; continue processing until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- FOR FREEZING: divide the pesto into dinner-sized portions, place in freezer bags, and top with olive oil to cover. Roll the bags carefully to squeeze out as much air as possible. I like to put the small freezer bags into a large, labeled freezer bag. When you thaw out a portion (running hot water over the bottom of the bag is enough!), mix the contents of the bag and stir in some grated pecorino.
