Ingredients
- 200 g chargrilled marinated artichokes, drained
- small handful flat leaf parsley about 8-10 stalks, curly will do too
- 2 medium-sized cloves garlic
- 4-5 Tbsp EV olive oil
- 2 Tbsp crème fraîche half fat works too
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- lots of freshly ground black pepper
To finish when serving
- a squeeze of lemon juice
- some chopped parsley
Instructions
- Place everything in a chopper and chop to a coarse mix, scraping down and mixing a couple of times.
- Add the lemon juice and parsley just before serving.
The pesto might be a little heavy on the salt when tasted. Don't forget that when it's mixed in with pasta, it will need all that salt. In fact chances are, you'll have to add more after mixing it with pasta.
