~RECIPE of the MONTH ~

by Susun Weed

 

Catnip pesto tastes enough like basil pesto to fool most people. And, of

course, the season is far longer for catnip than for basil. I'll be back

here harvesting fresh catnip first thing in the spring, too. For

freezing, I keep the pesto simple, leaving out nuts and cheese. (This

makes my pesto much lower in fat content, and I can always add them

later.)

 

Fill blender container with one cup mild olive oil. On low speed, drop

in 6 or more cloves of garlic and blend. Turn blender speed higher and

begin to add catnip leaves (no stalks, please), a handful at a time,

pausing until the previous handful is incorporated. When the blender

complains, stops, or heats up from the effort, stop.

 

Serve over hot pasta, adding cheese if desired. Or pour into a heavy

plastic bag and freeze. This pesto will also keep for 3-4 months in the

refrigerator if packed carefully into a clean glass jar and " topped up "

with at least a quarter inch of plain olive oil poured over it to seal

out air. (It may oxidize - turn black or dark on top - but it is still

tasty and fine.)
