I wish I had made more and frozen it. I thought, pesto doesn't just have to made from basil. Maybe in the fall, with cooler weather, but now, I am chasing strawberries - jam and oven dried.

Served with sauteed tempeh and a salad of mustard greens, also from the garden. Tastes like spring. Mark, I just made a batch of arugula pesto from my garden – yum.

However, even without either of those, you can make any pesto by hand. There is a knife, called a mezzaluna that is often used for just such a task. A good sharp knife can also do the job, I recommend one that is stainless for this kind of job. I am a giant fan of hand tools. Don't know where you live, but right now, as our local tailgate markets open again, baby turnips are in the offering, so they will be available. Obviously they come attached to the turnips! Do you participate in a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)? It is not too late. Thanks for your comments. Catherine, A blender can work as well.

It sounds heavenly!! I pretty much exclusively eat arugula for my greens, fresh, wilted and any place or way I can think to include them in a meal (bkfst, lunch, dinner) even more than spinach and would love to add pesto to my trove of arugula recipes. Also, where's the best place to get baby turnip greens?? Love your postings. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so wonderfully.
