Artichoke pesto

An ultra-simple recipe that’s as tasty as they come. I suggest this artichoke pesto, made with artichoke hearts, parmesan, roasted cashews, garlic and olive oil! An absolute delight on toast for a richly flavoured aperitif, or even as a pizza base with dough, in place of tomato sauce or green pesto, then topped up to your liking!

Pesto for 4 :

  • 400g raw artichoke bottoms (frozen is perfect! )
  • 160g unsalted roasted cashew nuts (if they’re salted, leave out the salt!)
  • 65g of olive oil
  • 100g Parmesan or Grana Padano cheese
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • salt pepper

Steam the artichoke bottoms for 14 minutes. I’ve used frozen bottoms here, perfect for this recipe where they are blended.

After this time, run them under cold water to stop the cooking process.

Here are the ingredients.

Peel the garlic cloves, chop the cheese and place all the ingredients in the blender.

Until smooth and creamy.

Serve on bread, or as a pizza base (instead of classic pesto). You can keep it in a cool place, putting a layer of olive oil on the surface to protect it from oxidation, then cling film to keep out fridge odours.

Instructions
 

  • Mettez les fonds d’artichauts à cuire 14 minutes à la vapeur. J’ai pris ici des fonds congelés, parfaits dans cette recette où on les mixe.
  • Au bout de ce temps, passez-les sous l’eau froide pour stopper la cuisson.
  • Épluchez les gousses d’ail, coupez le fromage en morceaux et placez tous les ingrédients dans le mixeur jusqu’à obtenir une texture crémeuse homogène.
  • Servez sur du pain, ou en fond de pizza (à la place d’un pesto classique). Vous pouvez le garder au frais, en mettant une couche d’huile d’olive sur la surface pour protéger de l’oxydation, puis un film étirable pour empêcher les odeurs du réfrigérateur.
