Arugula (rocket) and walnut pesto

Yes this is not a sweet bake, it's not even a bake. I will explain. Alpha bakes starts again this month and Caroline and Ross are joining forces with Dom of Bellau Kitchen and his random recipe challenge. As a quick aside, go spend a while drooling over the lovely looking food on the blog...

So the letter is 'A' and I was supposed to chose a random book and stab my finger at something beginning with 'A' in the appendix. 

So I let Mark pick the book, yet it was not a book, it was a recipe folder with scraps I have collected. The only thing in it beginning with A was a recipe I grabbed from an American magazine. Hence why the word arugula and not rocket! Still no swaps, that's the rules.

It is an easy easy recipe, 100g rocket, 50g rocket, 50ml olive oil, 50g Parmesan. Blend in a food processor, adding more olive oil if needed or if you like a loose pesto.

I did not add Parmesan as I am not able to eat cheese, I added some nutritional yeast for a sharp salty edge. And to be honest this pesto was declared delicious by Mark so I am happy. 

I have had it in a wrap with chickpeas, kale and avocado, it was lovely. 

Mark has been enjoying it in bagels with roast beef.

I will also be putting spoonfuls of it on my pizza later on in the week. I will try and remember to add a picture.

I love making my own different pestos and this is a nice one to add to the collection.
