Description
A creative take on what a salsa really is
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 – 1 Pound (.34 – .45 kg) Parmesan Cheese
- 1/2 Pound (.23 kg) Asiago d’allevo Cheese (hard Asiago)
- 1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/4 – 1/2 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 2 Handfuls of Walnuts (chopped)
- 2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- Roughly chop the Parmesan and Asiago cheeses into chunks.
- Add all of the cheese to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the cheese is chopped into pieces the size of small gravel (think fishbowl gravel size).
- Pour all of the chopped cheese into a medium size serving bowl.
- Add the Italian seasoning, black pepper, chopped walnuts and minced garlic to the bowl with the cheese. Stir to combine.
- Pour olive oil into the bowl just until you begin to see it come to the top of the cheese. Stir again.
- You can add more olive oil if you would like it to be a thinner salsa or stop adding oil if you would like it to be a thicker consistency.
Notes
Feel free to play around with the seasonings in this. It’s especially good with some red pepper flakes in it (plus it gives it a bit of color). You could also chop up some fresh herbs to add to it if you like.
