Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Sauté the onion and garlic slowly over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until nicely browned.

Step 2

Add the arugula with a splash of water, cover, and steam for just a minute or so, until it wilts.

Step 3

Place the toasted nuts of choice in the container of a food processor. Process until ground down to a fine meal.

Step 4

Add the onion and arugula mixture along with the remaining ingredients to the food processor. Process until smoothly pureed, scraping down the sides as needed. Add small amounts of water as need be to loosen the mixture.

Step 5

Scrape the mixture into a serving bowl. Surround with baguette slices, extra arugula leaves, sliced radishes and/or cucumber, and dill sprigs with which to embellish individual servings.

Step 6

Store any unused portion in an airtight container, where it will keep in the refrigerator for several days.
