Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup artichoke heart, cooked (canned would be fine, and roughly chopped)
1/8 cup raw pine nuts
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 small garlic clove, peeled and minced
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
coarse salt, a pinch (just a little since the parmesan is salty, you can always add more salt when finished)
fresh ground black pepper, a few grinds
1 -2 teaspoon fresh tarragon leaves, thinly sliced (use as much as you would like, to taste...I like 1 t.)

Steps:

  • Pulse the first 7 ingredients together in a food processor. Stir in the tarragon and season to taste with more salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Enjoy!

This pesto was a bit too expensive to make. I think I'll stick to store-bought pesto in the future.

I found this pesto to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra garlic and salt to taste.

This pesto was a bit too oily for my taste. I had to add some extra bread crumbs to thicken it up.

I'm not a huge fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed this pesto. The flavors are well-balanced and it's not too overpowering.

I used walnuts instead of pine nuts and it was still delicious.

I added a bit of red pepper flakes to this pesto for a little extra spice. It was delicious!

This pesto is a great way to use up leftover artichokes. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.
