Equipment

  • good blender or food processor- we use a small Ninja

Ingredients

  • 1 cup spruce tips
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (weight: 2oz or 58gm)
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2/3 cup pecans
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp good white wine, we use a Chablis
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients in your blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You'll likely need to open and scrape the sides of your device, then re-blend a few times before the consistency is right. If you're having trouble getting things to blend until smooth, you can slowly add a bit more of the liquid ingredients to help (olive oil, lemon juice, wine).
