Charred Scallion Pesto

Prep:10minCook:10min

This pesto is a take on ramp pesto, but uses the more accessible and more sustainable sister-ingredient for ramps, the scallion! Charring the scallions brings out their natural sweetness, making this pesto equal parts delicious and unique.

Note: Link may not load recipe on site but the recipe IS still on the site and the video still works. It's basically char the scallions in a dry cast iron skillet then bring everything together in a food processor. Review: Delicious, we had on pasta with grilled salmon and broccoli; almonds substitute well if you don't have pine nuts and vegan parm (violife) worked great. We did the green onions on the grill since we were going to be grilling salmon and broccoli anyway; took just a few minutes to char and another few to assemble. Super tasty, will make again.
