Had to bring in most of the plants in pots from the balcony as our landlords suddenly proclaimed they were going to repaint the balconies (or something). Nothing has yet happened on that front (another story), but the weather's getting cooler (though not right now), and I guess it's time to break the pots down in preparation for Winter soon anyway... One of the things needing used is rocket. Have been realising that you can make pesto out of just about anything - there are so many different kinds of leaves and veggies, nuts and seeds...
I also made the green sauce from here, as I had come by some green chillies and green tomatoes, and had some lettuce leaves in my pots waiting to be eaten.
1 cup rocket leaves, roughly chopped
small clove garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup shelled edamame, defrosted
1 tsp nutritional yeast
salt and pepper
water to make a good consistency
Put all ingredients in the cup of a wand blender and blend til smooth. Eat as a dip with bread or crudites, or as a pesto with pasta.
