Ingredients

1 bunch radishes, for the leaves (see note)
½ cup (125 ml) olive oil
½ cup (35 g) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/3 cup (60 g) roasted almonds
1 small garlic clove, chopped
½ lemon, zest finely grated and the juice

Preparation

Wash and drain the radish leaves. Pat them very dry with a clean dishcloth. On a work surface, coarsely chop the leaves.
In a blender or food processor, purée the leaves with the remaining ingredients until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. The radish leaf pesto will keep for 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer. Cover the surface of the pesto with a thin layer of oil to prevent oxidation.

Note from Ricardo

Use the leaves of smaller radishes as they will be less bitter.
