Steps

Cut root ends of green garlic and discard. Cut into 1-inch lengths, discarding the tougher green portions on top.

Place nuts and green garlic into a food processor and process on low until roughly chopped. Cut cheese into chunks, add to food processor, and process. In a steady stream while processor is running, add olive oil until desired consistency is reached.
