Garlic Chive Pesto

My garlic chives needed a haircut.  They were totally out of control.  But what could we do with a bucket or two of garlicky, oniony goodness?  Why, make pesto of course!
So Brian and I went out and chopped the chives way back.  The picture above is a small section of the garlic chive patch after they were cut back!

I don't usually do recipes on this blog, but this stuff was seriously good.  And seriously easy.  A couple of whirrs in the food processor and we had a delicious garlicky pesto.

So here it is -- about two cups of garlic chives, coarsely chopped, 1 cup of grated parmesian reggiano,         1 cup of pine nuts and a few slurps of olive oil.  Processed together to the desired consistency. 
It was fabulous!  So good, in fact, that we made another batch yesterday.  Yum!
