Ingredients for 1 glass (approx. 250 ml)

100 g fresh wild garlic
50 g roasted pine nuts (alternatively: cashews or sunflower seeds)
50 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast for the vegan version)
1 organic lemon (zest + some juice)
100 ml olive oil (high quality)
1 small garlic clove (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste


How to prepare

Wash the wild garlic thoroughly and dry it well, preferably with a salad spinner or a clean kitchen towel.
Roughly chop the leaves. Roast the pine nuts in a dry pan until golden brown, then let them cool slightly.
Now, add the wild garlic, toasted pine nuts, freshly grated Parmesan (or nutritional yeast), a little lemon zest, and—if you like—a small garlic clove to a blender or tall container. Slowly add the olive oil and blend everything into a smooth paste. Finally, season to taste with salt, pepper, and a few drops of lemon juice.
Pour the finished pesto into a clean jar and cover with a little olive oil – this will keep it fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tip
The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for about 1 week – or you can freeze it in portions (e.g. in ice cube trays).
