Instructions

  1. Remove the artichokes from the oil and add to a bowl (keep the oil). Add the garlic, lemon juice, Parmigiano Reggiano and a pinch of pepper.
  2. Blitz everything together until smooth using an immersion blender (alternatively use a food processor). Add a little oil if the consistency seems too thick. Taste and add salt if needed.
  3. Spoon into a serving bowl and serve with cheese, cured meats, crusty bread or crackers.

Notes

  • Type of artichokes to use - you want to look for jarred artichoke hearts in oil, it doesn't matter if they are whole, halved or quartered. Spoon the artichokes out of the oil into a bowl or processor.
  • Consistency - If your pesto is too thick, add a little more oil that the artichokes were jarred in to emulsify it more.
  • Serving suggestions - serve the pesto on crusty toasted bread to make bruschetta, with cured meats and cheese or even use as a pasta sauce.
