COLLARD GREEN OLIVE PESTO

Provided by Danny Toma

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Sauce     Olive     Quick & Easy     Parmesan     Collard Greens     Gourmet     Italy

Yield Makes about 2 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 lb collard greens
7 large brine-cured green olives (2 1/4 ounces), pitted
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 oz finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Bring a 6- to 8-quart pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, cut stems and center ribs from collard greens and discard. Stir collards into water in batches, then simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer collards with tongs to a colander to drain, gently pressing on greens to extract excess water. (If making pasta, reserve water in pot for cooking pasta.) Coarsely chop collards.
  • Blend olives and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add collards, water, vinegar, salt, cayenne, and pepper and pulse until finely chopped. With motor running, add oil in a slow stream. Turn off motor, then add cheese and pulse to combine.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh basil, parsley, and oregano. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • If you don't have pine nuts, you can substitute walnuts, almonds, or pistachios.
  • To make a vegan pesto, omit the Parmesan cheese.
  • Pesto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze pesto for up to 3 months.
  • Pesto is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes, including pasta, pizza, sandwiches, and salads.

Conclusion:

Black and green olive pesto is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.
