14 • Fennel Frond Pesto

When I travel and find fennel, I fill half my suitcase with it because it's not easy to find here in Barcelona, and I love it...
After a huge crudité platter some time ago, I tried making a pesto with fennel fronds, and it turned out to be a delicious "pesto"!

➡️ We enjoyed it with some crostini (it was a hit), but it can also be used to dress pasta.

Warm regards to everyone!

Steps

  1. 1

    Wash the fennel fronds and dry them well; put the tender green parts in the blender while removing the outer filaments from the thicker, white parts at the base of the fronds, as they don't blend well.

    Blend the fronds intermittently with olive oil, grated Parmesan, and nuts, adding the oil gradually to achieve a smooth sauce.
    Continue blending until you get a pesto that is more or less grainy, according to your taste.
