Forest Feast: Scallion Pesto

September 10, 2012Erin Gleeson
This pesto uses scallions (aka green onions) instead of basil. Cooking them just a bit before you process them takes the onion-y edge off and adds flavor. I spread the pesto on toasted bread to make little crostini, but you can also toss it in pasta with roasted vegetables. Bon Appetit!

  • I just loved your suggestion. I often grill bread slices in the oven, add some olive oil and serve before the main course. This just sounds great.
