Belazu Truffle and Artichoke Pesto

It may be called a pesto, but this is not your traditional basil-packed pesto alla Genovese. Instead, Britain’s Belazu combines three of Italy’s other signature flavors: black summer truffles, artichokes and Parmigiano-Reggiano to create this smooth and richly flavored spread. The chefs behind Belazu expertly balance the supercharged umami of truffles with the earthy and herbaceous flavor of artichokes, while the addition of aged Parmigiano-Reggiano gives this spread an extra dose of savory complexity.
