Lunch: Buttermilk Cabbage Soup With Black Walnut "Pesto"

Recipe by Ronni Lundy Cabbage is a green you can keep in the root cellar deep into the winter, and it is often sliced thin and sautéed in butter or bacon grease as a sturdy side for a cold-weather supper. This soup pairs it perfectly with tangy buttermil

Ingredients

6 tablespoons black walnut pieces
4 teaspoons apple cider
Salt

Instructions

In a small heavy skillet over medium heat, toast the black walnut pieces, shaking the pan, until they just begin to turn golden, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
Put the toasted walnuts in a blender, add the cider and a large pinch of salt, and pulse until a loose, grainy paste is formed. Remove the pesto from the blender and set it aside.
