Tyra’s Spanish Tarragon Pesto – Sweet Mace Pesto
RECIPE - Tyra’s Spanish
Tarragon Pesto – Sweet Mace Pesto
Ingredients:
45g (1/4 cup) pine nuts
3,5 dl/1 1/2 cups of fresh ‘Sweet Mace’ leaves
2 garlic cloves
60g (3/4 cup) shredded parmesan
¾ dl/ 5 tbls olive oil
This is a
tarragon flavored variation of the Italian classic pesto. Do try it with meat,
poultry or why not try it with fried courgettes or other vegetable from your
kitchen garden.
Roast the
pine nuts on a baking tray in an oven on medium heat (200C.) for about five
minutes or until they are done (light golden roasted) Remove the pine nuts from the oven and tray and let cool. Place the
‘Sweet Mace’ herb, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan in a food processor and cut
until it all is finely chopped. Now it is time to add the olive oil, pour it in
slowly with the food processor on slow speed. Blend until it all is well
blended. I hope you will enjoy the Sweet Mace Pesto (Spanish Tarragon Pesto)

Such an interesting use for that herb, if my plant gets large enough to harvest enough leaves I will have to try it. I'm glad you gave the latin name for it, it's commonly called Mexican tarragon or Texas tarragon here. My plant was labelled Texas Tarragon when I bought it.
