Ingredients                                                                        Yield: Makes about 2⁄3 cup
• 2 garlic cloves, cut in half, any green shoots removed
• 2 heaped tablespoons Simply Roasted Crickets
• 4 ounces ( 2 cups) arugula tightly packed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil, as needed
• 1⁄3 to 1⁄2 cup freshly grated Parmesan - to taste

Preparation

Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade (or you can use a high-powered
blender) and drop in the garlic cloves. When they are chopped and adhering to the
sides, stop the machine, scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the crickets. Turn on the machine, and process until they are finely ground. Scrape down the bowl again, and add the arugula, cheese and the salt. Pulse until the arugula is finely chopped, then turn on the machine and run while you slowly drizzle in the olive oil. When the mixture is smooth, stop the machine, scrape down the sides and process for another 30 seconds or so. Scrape out into the bowl.

Tips

• Since the recipe is dependent on ingredient strength, texture preference and taste,
you may need to adjust accordingly.

• Crickets replace the nuts in this recipe, but you can add additional nuts like
pistachios, walnuts, or pine nuts with the crickets. You can replace the arugula for
basil if that is your preference as well.

• For a smoother texture grind with mortar and pestle after using food processor/
blender
