doesn't this look quite pretty? well. i certainly think it does. the green color is stunning, and pops even more next to the clashing, deep red of the radish. the arugula certainly results in a nice green colored pesto - but otherwise... well, let's just say arugula is not meant to be a pesto. whatsoever. and the handful of green peas didn't help much. it was a very bitter experience (literally). not much taste, other than the very strong bitterness. this recipe clearly didn't pass my BIMH taste buds' check.
so, i won't write down the recipe (don't be afraid) - but add this post to my category 'pretty disasters', instead. which is so far proudly represented by this recipe here. and in the future, i'll just stick to basil pesto i guess. viva italia!
oh my gosh I got soooo excited when I saw this stunning photograph and its captivating green-ness that I thought for sure it would be a killer recipe. I cant believe it tasted bitter. Oh well. I am glad you posted though. Hopefully you make it with basil or parsley next time and share the recipe because I am practically eating my screen right now :)
