Ingredients
Method
-
You could blend everything together in a food processor, but for me, this takes a little joy out of the craft of cooking. I like to use a pestle and mortar, as it achieves a better texture.
-
Place the wild garlic, hazelnuts and a little olive oil in the mortar and grind until a paste is formed.
-
Then add the rest of the olive oil, and finely grate the cheese into the mortar.
-
Season with a good pinch of sea salt and pour into a jam jar.
-
Stored in the fridge the wild garlic pesto should last for a couple of weeks.
