Marjoram Pesto
- 2 cups fresh marjoram, leaves and small stems only
- 1 large or 2 small garlic cloves, peeled
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained
- 2 anchovy fillets (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Combine the marjoram and garlic in a blender or small food processor.
- Process until finely minced, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula once or twice if necessary.
- Add the vinegar and most of the oil and process until smooth.
- Add the capers and anchovies if you like and pulse the machine on and off a few times; you want to mince, not puree, the mixture, so dont overprocess.
- Stir in the remaining oil, along with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve at room temperature.
