Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch fresh onion chives
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds / pepitas (toasted)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil + more as needed
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice or red wine vinegar +more to taste
- 1 teaspoon water
Directions:
- Add the nuts to a skillet and turn on the heat to medium. Toast them for a few minutes until just golden. Watch them closely and move them around with a spatula so they don't burn. Allow to cool.
- Add the chives, toasted pepitas, olive oil and red wine vinegar to the bowl of a food processor. Process until a rustic texture is achieved. Add more olive oil or some water if needed to loosen up the pesto sauce to your liking. Season to taste with sea salt.
