Zucchini Pesto

Pesto is a delicious topping for steamed vegetables.

Directions

2 small zucchini or other summer squash
1 medium garlic clove
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cut zucchini into 1-inch chunks (you should have about 2 cups.) Steam chunks over boiling water for about 5 minutes, or until it is just tender when pierced with a sharp knife.

Place garlic and basil into a food professor fitted with a metal blade and chop until fine. Add zucchini, oil, and salt. Pulse until everything is finely chopped.
