In case you didn’t catch it, here’s the link to yesterday’s cooking show on King 5’s New Day Northwest Talk Show. I had myself a little blast. If it’s not obvious.

Peppery Green Pistou

Makes 6 servings

Notes: The French style pistou is a cinch to make (no cooking or chopping required) and is an amazing way to get more hearty, awesome greens into your life, without even noticing.

1 cup spicy greens (I used Organic Girl’s Pepper Greens, but you can use any kind of greens you like)

1 small package basil

½ cup walnuts

1 clove garlic

¼ to ½ cup olive oil

splash red wine vinegar or ½ lemon, juiced

½ teaspoon sea salt and pepper

Place all ingredients in a blender, adding more olive oil if needed. Optional to add a dash of red pepper flakes to turn up the heat! Store in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 10 days.

Serve hot or cold over zucchini noodles, as a garnish for soup, in baked potatoes, over fish, steak, chicken or roasted vegetables, or mixed with Dijon for an amazing vinaigrette.
