Here is another super quick pesto recipe, for those times when you have a ton of arugula hanging around and youβre really not in a mood for another salad. This pesto is super tangy and refreshing, just perfect for hot summer days.

INGREDIENTS:
(Yields 1 cup of pesto / 1.54 EUR)
1 big bunch of arugula (0.66 EUR)
3 cloves of garlic (0.10 EUR)
Juice of 1 lemon (0.40 EUR)
2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)
Β½ tsp salt (0.01 EUR)
Β½ tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.01 EUR)
4 tbsp sunflower seeds (0.27 EUR)

METHOD:
Roughly chop arugula and garlic. Add to a food processor with lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and pulse until creamy. Add in sunflower seeds and briefly pulse to desired consistency. I prefer pesto with a few chunkier bits inside so I ran the food processor with sunflower seeds for only 3-4 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Serve as a pasta or rice sauce, with roasted vegetables or as a salad dressing.
To store pesto for later, place in a container, smooth surface with back of a spoon and cover with thin layer of olive oil, to prevent the air getting in. You can then refrigerate pesto for up to a week, or freeze for a few months.

Evo jedan brzinski recept za pesto, za sve one trenutke kada imate doma tonu rukole, a niste raspoloΕΎeni za joΕ‘ jednu salatu. Ovaj pesto je aromatiΔan i osvjeΕΎavajuΔ, jednostavno savrΕ‘en za vruΔe ljetne dane.
SASTOJCI:
(Za 1 Ε‘alicu pesta / 11,47 kn)
1 veliki pregrΕ‘t rukole (5,00 kn)
3 ΔeΕ‘nja ΔeΕ‘njaka (0,75 kn)
Sok od 1 limuna (3,00 kn)
2 ΕΎlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)
Β½ ΕΎliΔice soli (0,01 kn)
Β½ ΕΎliΔice svjeΕΎe mljevenog crnog papra (0,05 kn)
4 ΕΎlice sjemenki suncokreta (2,00 kn)
PRIPREMA:
Grubo nareΕΎite rukolu i ΔeΕ‘njak. Ubacite u multipraktik sa limunovim sokom, maslinovim uljem, soli i paprom, pa pulsirajte dok ne bude kremasto. Dodajte sjemenke suncokreta i joΕ‘ kratko pulsirajte do ΕΎeljene konzistencije. Meni je draΕΎe da u pestu ima i malo hrskavih dijelova, pa sam pulsirala sa suncokretovim sjemenkama moΕΎda 3-4 sekunde. KuΕ‘aje i prilagodite zaΔine.
PosluΕΎite pesto kao umak za tjesteninu ili riΕΎu, sa peΔenim povrΔem ili kao dressing za salatu.
Da biste pesto spremili za kasnije, stavite ga u posudicu, poravnajte povrΕ‘inu straΕΎnjom stranom ΕΎlice i prekrijte tankim slojem maslinovog ulja, kako biste sprijeΔili da unutra uΔe zrak. Tako pripremljen pesto moΕΎete Δuvati u hladnjaku do tjedan dana ili zamrznuti na par mjeseci.
