1 cup coarsely chopped arugula leaves
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup coarsely cut winter greens, such as mizuna, giant red mustard or
argentata
1/2 cup walnut halves or pieces
2 x to 4 cloves garlic, to taste
1 x to 2 jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and coarsely chopped, to taste WEAR GLOVES
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (2 ounces)
Instructions:
Instructions: Wash the arugula, parsley and winter greens all together in a large bowl of water. Lift them out of the water and transfer to a colander. Set aside to drip-dry a bit.

Pulverize the walnuts in a food processor. Add garlic, jalapenos, salt, parmesan cheese and olive oil and the still-moist greens, and process until minced as fine as possible. Use right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Note: Wear gloves when handling fresh, canned, dried or pickled chilies; the oils can cause a burning sensation on your skin.
