Alex's serving suggestion: "Mix a spoonful into salad dressing or into the liquid from steamed mussels or clams—anywhere you want to have the freshness of herbs combined with a little heat."



Makes 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 1 scant Tbsp. (about 2 large cloves) chopped garlic
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, stemmed and chopped
  • 1 cup finely grated aged provolone cheese

  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup arugula leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 cup spinach leaves, stemmed and tightly packed
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to taste

Directions


Total time: 12 minutes
