Pesto

  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 1/3 cup parmesan
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 1/2 ounces spinach

Steps

  1. Fill a large bowl with ice water and add the juice of half the lemon. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut off the bottom third of the artichoke stem and top. Peel off the hard outer leaves, until you reach the soft middle leaves. Use sharp kitchen scissors to snip off the thorns from the remaining leaves. Using a peeler or paring knife, trim the first layer of skin away from the artichoke stem and tear off any small or dead leaves. Drop the artichoke straight into the ice water to stop it discoloring.
