    Broccoli Pesto for Bread or As Side Dish, Would you believe this is great? And you can eat it with bread, especially your own fresh bread? This is also a great side dish with any meal You could substitute the cheese with another flavourful type, and you could also use toasted almonds instead of hazelnuts, or leave out the nuts entirely As a dip: use all ingredients As a side dish: serve warm and use ingredients to taste, but lemon juice is a must! Taste it in the processor — your taste has the final say!, This sounds awesome I am going to the farmers market this week and I am getting all the items i need to make this I bet this would be great on pasta

    Steps

    1
    Done

    It's Best to Use a Head of Broccoli, as the Nutritious Stems Are Also Used For This.

    2
    Done

    Trim the Stalk Ends, Then Slice Off Thinly Into a Pot With a Little Water.

    3
    Done

    Parboil the Stalks in Boiling Water, Then Add the Florets. Cook For Only About 3 Minutes or Until Still Al Dente, Then Drain.

    4
    Done

    Rinse Basil and Parsley and Dry Lightly in a Clean Kitchen Towel.

    5
    Done

    Put the Broccoli, Basil, Parsley, Garlic, Nuts, Lemon Juice and Cheese in a Blender and Pulse.

    6
    Done

    Add Salt and Pepper to Taste. (please Do Taste!).

    7
    Done

    Add Olive Oil in a Thin Stream Through the Funnel Until the Processor Can Handle the Ingredients and the Broccoli Pesto Reaches a Thick, Paste-Like Consistency -- or to Your Taste. You Want a Firm Consistency -- About 1/4 - 1/3 Cup Will Be Enough.

    8
    Done

    Can Be Used at Room Temperature as a Spread on Bread, Rolls and Crackers, or as a Warmed-Up Side Dish.

    9
    Done

    Servings: as a Spread It Will Obviously Serve More People Than When Served as a Side Dish, So That Is a Little Hard to Calculate!

    10
    Done

    Time to Make: I Added in the Time Needed to Toast the Nuts in a Pan.
