Equipment

  • Food processor or blender

Ingredients
  

  • 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

Jalapeno Apple Chutney

    Instructions
     

    • 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.

    Notes

    • 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.
