This is an easy, great tasting appetizer. It goes together quickly in a food processor. I use my mini processor & do it in two batches. It's not very heavy and is nice & garlicky!
8 oz. white button mushrooms
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 cups fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup olive oil, approximately
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt & freshly ground black pepper
optional:
baguette bread, sliced into 1/2 inch slices, brushed with additional olive oil & toasted until crisp
pita chips
fresh veggies
Combine mushrooms, walnuts, garlic, & parsley in food processor & pulse until coarsely chopped. With machine running, gradually add the oil, blending just until the mushrooms are finely chopped. (my mini processor doesn't have a chute for adding oil, I just add oil, pulse, add more oil, pulse etc). Stir in the parmesan, season to taste with the salt & pepper. If not using the pesto right away, cover tightly with plastic wrap. Stir before serving as the mushrooms tend to discolor. Serve with crisp bread slices, pita chips, fresh veggies.
