We have chives! So many chives! Let's make this recipe, I say to my son. So he goes and cuts about 5 gallons of chives. Brings them in. Washes them off. THEN we watch the video and do a mis en place. Whoops. Almonds. Oops. No almonds. Maybe there's some pecans in the baking cabinet? No. Walnuts? Ugh. No. A packet of old airline peanuts? No. Ok. Well, we'll skip the nuts. Cheese. Parmesan. Oops. None of that. What cheese do we have? A frozen block of swiss. Yes, I see. In it went. What came out was STILL AMAZING. So good. We added a pinch of salt (swiss is far less salty than parmesan, turns out). We were eating it with a spoon, it was so good. Thanks for the recipe! As always, you teach great foundations and give people the courage to go waaaaay off script.

That looks so good!!! I always wing it making pesto so it is so good to have a demonstration! 💚🌿 And, I hadn't thought of using chives before, What a great idea! 💛

So yummy! Thank you Kevin. The chives in my garden are ready and I know what we'll be enjoying as an appetizer this weekend.

Cool video. Will definitely try it.

I too love chives, so thank you for this recipe. If I had no garden and only one pot, I'd plant it with chives. A very accommodating herb, gets along with everybody, and is so generous from earliest spring into fall. It's really very pretty in a pot, and isn't fussy at all.

Thanks so much! I just harvested a s-load of chives - never crossed my mind to make pesto with it! Can’t wait to try the spaghetti recipe. Brilliant!

i made this recipe yesterday and it turned out amazing. thanks!

I do love your garlic scape pesto recipe but I never thought to try chive pesto. Will definitely try it. If it’s anything like the scape pesto it’s going to turn out fab!

That looks so good! I am gig to try it as I can get some chives

Kevin, I made this tonight. Let me say thank you for the recipe. It turned out delicious. I have chives growing now in my garden. I'll be making it again. Well wishes from Salt Lake City, Utah!

You have the best videos and recipes on KZfaq. I'm going to the garden, to cut chives now!! While I'm out there, I'll open my milk jug green houses. That was a great idea too!! Little did we know in January, when we planted them, our country would be in such turmoil with a pandemic. The new little plants make my heart sing during this confusing time. Thanks so much for making the world a better place, Kevin. Stay safe.

Thank you for another great recipe and teaching video! I've not heard of chive pesto, but rest assured, I'll be making some of this for my loved ones and myself to enjoy. 😊💖🙏

Kevin I made this pesto for our family Oktoberfest and it was a great hit! All the pesto canapés were gobbled up right away. This recipe is definitely a keeper. Many thanks to you!

Never used chives, am old school and use basil. I will have to give this a try.

I love your garlic peeling method 🤪

Must try this. Got chives in the garden. 😊

I love that olive oil container. I must find one.

A new favorite of mine. You can also add a bit of lemon or lime juice to give it a fresh kick. I find that all pestos and especially the chive one taste better if you let it sit in the fridge for 24 - it brings out the flavor more. Also, you can also freeze after 24 hours - sandwich bags laying flat. Thaws on the counter quickly. When thawed - beat it and adjust with more oil, salt and pepper if needed.

Now I will have to grow chives!

Kevin, why do you have to add salt after the boil, if you please? Thank you!

Probably would be good mixed with mashed potatoes!

Are common chives spicy & hot tasting also how different are they from garlic chives?

do you think pesto is good with garlic chives " nira"? i only have these

They looks like spring onion. The chives grown in my country are flat leaves. Interested to know how they taste compared to the ones i'm so used to

I have chives, but how do I know if they're common or not? What is the brand of your food processor? I found an answer: "Both plants grow in grass-like clumps, but while the common chive foliage is tube-shaped and grass-green, a garlic chive is a flat, blue-green blade. And its flavor is more garlicky than oniony, though not as strong or harsh as a raw clove of real garlic.Jan 25, 2012"

You could make a pbj and i would watch you

Can I Cann this pesto?

On a slice of toast

crusty bread or on a sandwich like goat cheese tomato and sprouts or on ahi steaks...... thank you!!!!

I used a blender and the chives are stringy. I used too much garlic too. Try food processor next.

AMAZING CHIVE PESTO KEVIN 🌟❤️🖤💚🤎 FAMILY DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME BEAUTIFUL ✨,

Must try this and I might try growing some too.

brushetta

no pasta water 😿

How long does it last in the fridge? With the oil, I’m assuming at least a month?

Never thought Mark Hammil would be teaching me how to make chive pesto
