Roots of a Southern Kitchen

I absolutely love pesto, so when I saw Lemon Artichoke Pesto at the store, I knew I had to have it. Of course, when I went back, I couldn’t find any more! Thankfully, The View from Great Island has a similar recipe!

Ingredients:

• 15 oz can artichoke hearts, drained
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 T lemon juice
• 1/2 cup asiago cheese, finely grated
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• Handful of fresh basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

• Put artichokes in food processor and pulse a few times.
• Add garlic, lemon zest and juice, cheese, basil, oil, and salt and pepper
• Pulse 20-30 times to combine ingredients while still maintaining some texture. If you want it to be smoother, pulse longer.
