When Life Brings You Fennel, Make Fennel Fronds Pesto!

My new favorite “made from scratch” food. ‘Fragrant Fennel Fronds Pesto’.

The garden we planted at an elderly friends is thriving, and so we have both been blessed already with the bounty of herbs and greens! Of course I can’t waste a thing..so I had to put them to use.

Let cool.

blend until smooth. Work in the remaining oil and/or a

little more oil or water to get your preferred consistency.
