Spinach Pesto

#cookpadindia #healthy #easy Spinach Pesto is a lovely alternative or variation to the original. There are umpteen variations made nowadays and this is one of them.

Cooking time :

10-12 minutes

250 gm

Spinach Greens blanched

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Keep all the ingredients listed and handy. Blanch the spinach greens for about 3-4 minutes. Drain and add all to a blender jar.

* Step 2

Keep adding oil as you blend. Do not add all at once. It needs to be churned to get that velvety smooth texture and looks.

* Step 3

That's it. Adjust salt and pepper as needed. Fill it up in clean sterilised bottles and freeze. Also it stays good in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. But if you intend to store it or freeze it for a long time use, then skip the parmesan cheese.
