To steal chives from your neighbour

I love chives. I love many things. But I really really love chives. It works with everything. Every kind of food. Like with beets, potatoes, snow peas, marinated kohlrabi and pea pesto. 

KOHLRABI!! If you have never tried it. You simply have to.

One kohlrabi

2-3 tablespoons of good olive oil

One half of a lemon

Salt and pepper

Peel the kohlrabi. Cut it in half, and then cut the halfs on the long side again. Mandoline it in long stripes. Mix with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 1,5 hours. 

Eat with everything. Like with the pea pesto:

2 big cups of frozen green peas

Water

Bring water to the boil. Put the frozen peas in a bowl. Add the water to the peas and let it rest for 1 minute. Rinse in a colander. Put the peas back in the bowl. ADD:

4 tbsp of roasted sunflower seeds

1 clove of garlic (grated)

The juice from half a lemon

Salt and pepper

Mix with a hand blender. Add olive oil until you have the consistency of pesto. That is: not to loose and not to firm.

Eat with everything. Like the kohlrabi. Or just like me:

With boiled beets, potatoes, snow peas, extra olive oil and CHIVES!!!
