This chive pesto tastes so good and chives help repel pests! #garden #chives #herbs #pesto #recipe

Today we're going to use the chives in our garden to make a freezer-friendly chive pesto. I'm an edible garden designer and educator out of the Hudson Valley, where we're like 6 weeks away from our estimated first frost. I've been recommending to my clients that they go in, take the entire chive plant in their hand, and cut it back to maybe like 4 or 5 inches from the soil. This is going to increase airflow, but also there's still time for new growth. So all through the fall into the holidays, we're going to have Beautiful, fresh, tender chives. Now let's take our harvest and go make some pesto. This really is incredibly simple. We're gonna give the chives a rough chop, and then like we do with really any other pesto, we're gonna put all of the ingredients except the olive oil into our food processor, give it a whirl until everything is chopped, and then with the motor running, we're gonna slowly drizzle the olive oil in. I've put the recipe, the steps, everything is gonna be in the caption so you can find it there. I really don't think you can go wrong, but this is going to pair particularly nicely with anything potato. So toss it with gnocchi, roast little potatoes, drizzle on top. Enjoy!
