This fell into my clutches from Mother Esarth News (a hangover from
my last century "tree hugging" days) which is still a great resource
even if corporat3ed greed has crept into its management.

When I saw it a little cartoon lightbulb went on above my head and my
inner self sais "I'll bet Ben could get some mileage out of this ....

Title: Watercress Pesto
Categories: Greens, Cheese, Spreads
Yield: 3 servings

4 lg Handsfull watercress
1/2 c Parmesan cheese; shaved or
- shredded
1/2 c Unsalted nuts or seeds
1/2 c Extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt
Fresh garlic; opt
Lemon juice; opt
Pepper; opt

Cut off the watercress roots, and then rinse the leaves
and stems a few times to wash away any silt or debris.

Blanch any wild-harvested watercress for about a minute
in boiling water. Strain it in a colander first, and
then squeeze the excess moisture out with a clean tea
towel.

Blend the watercress, cheese, and nuts or seeds in a
food processor. Then, drizzle in the olive oil and
process until it reaches the desired consistency. More
or less oil is okay.

Add salt as needed. You can also add fresh garlic, a
sprinkle of lemon juice, or pepper.

Title: Watercress Pesto

I do like Pesto and this is the time of year for leafy greens. No watercress here but some giant unidentified mustard-looking brassicas erupted in the
back yard. And there's "miner's lettuce" all over the place, which might be
a little like watercress.

Nothing says tree-hugger like quinoa...

I've never eated Quinoa on purpose, bought it at the store, or cooked
with it.

From the preface to the recipe below:

"If there’s one thing that’s a certainty in San Francisco, it is that
weeds grow all over your backyard. This forced me to do some gardening
and upon pulling out a shit ton of weeds, I stumbled across a patch of Miner’s Lettuce! To me, this was like finding free money. I’d frequently
go to the farmer’s market to get this stuff, and now it’s growing in my backyard!"
