Cuisine Fusion
- 3/4 cup olive oil, more or less pending on taste
- 2 cups arugula, packed
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 lemon, zest and juiced
- 1 tsp salt
In a food processor, combine all ingredients except olive oil and pulse to blend. With the machine running, pour in the olive oil through the food tube in a slow, steady stream and process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- If you find it to bitter add in a little honey, sugar, or even maple syrup.
- Add in a little pepper for added spice however arugula is already peppery.
- Add it to a pasta dish if not making my award-winning grilled cheese.
