Green Asparagus Pesto: How to preserve Asparagus

This post is also available in: Deutsch (German)

We all know (and love) pesto made from various herbs. Whether with pasta, as a marinade or to spice up a sandwich. Pesto offers so many different options. But have you ever tried asparagus pesto? Not only does it taste great, but it’s also a great way to preserve asparagus.

Green Asparagus Pesto

Normally, the asparagus (especially the green asparagus) would be far too good for me to make into pesto. But since I just bought way too much asparagus, I had to find a way to use the asparagus and make it durable. By the way: the asparagus pesto can also be frozen very well. And also tastes great as a topping for the asparagus cream soup.

Ingredients (makes about 2 mason jars à 250 g):

  • 2 bunches of green asparagus
  • 3 tbsp pine nuts
  • 50 ml of olive oil
  • 1 pinch each of salt and sugar
  • 1 lemon, zest
  • 1/2 bunch of parsley
  • 1/2 bunch of basil
  • some parmesan if you like
  • salt and pepper

Instructions:

  1. Lightly toast the pine nuts in a pan without oil. Tip: You are also welcome to try other seeds or nuts for your pesto. It doesn’t always have to be pine nuts, e.g. Almonds, walnuts.
  2. Wash the green asparagus well and cut off the woody ends.
  3. Cook the asparagus in a saucepan with hot water, a pinch of salt and sugar and a lemon wedge.
  4. Process herbs, roasted pine nuts, asparagus, olive oil and parmesan in a mixer to make a pesto. If necessary, add a little more olive oil or a dash of asparagus water.
  5. Season to taste with freshly ground salt and pepper and the lemon peel zest.
  6. The pesto will keep for at least 1 week in a clean, sealed jar. You can also just freeze the asparagus pesto in portions.
