Chive Pesto (w/Walnuts)

2 cups chopped onion chives
1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
1/3 cup Cotija parmesan (Mexican parmesan) or Italian parm
1 plump garlic clove, chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 juicy lemon squeezed without seeds


Chop chives and add to bowl of food processor. Add all the other ingredients except the olive oil and whirl it up until chopped and mixed well.

Slowly add the olive oil down the tube while the processor is on and whirl until it is pesto like consistency.

Squeeze about 1/2 lemon into the mixture and gave it another spin until mixed well.

If you prefer a more loose pesto, add more olive oil a tablespoon at a time until you get the consistency you like.

Makes 1 cup
