Wild Garlic Pesto
A true seasonal delight, Wild Garlic Pesto has a very small window to made in due to the limited wild garlic season, but if you manage to forage or buy wild garlic, this pesto recipe is a must. We’ve stuck to the classic pesto flavours for this one; lemon for zing, pine nuts and parmesan for nuttiness and a little extra garlic clove to complement the gentle, delicate wild garlic flavour. Serve this pesto over pasta, spread on bruschetta or add a little extra oil for a pesto dressing for salad or new potatoes.
This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Rapeseed Oil which is low in saturated fat and high in Omega 3, making this recipe ideal for a healthy and balanced diet. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
