Wild Garlic Parmesan Pesto

After the snow hit us again last week we finally have a few days of spring here. It’s warm and sunny outside and I crave everything green. Speak of asparagus, spinach and also wild garlic.In fact wild garlic is absolutely underrated in my eyes and I am fairly positive that at least 85% of my friends have never even heard of it let alone eaten it. Which is a shame in my eyes because it tastes great! But maybe I am a little biased as I really really love garlic in general!

I got super excited last week when I finally found some wild garlic in the grocery store and I couldn’t wait to use it my favorite way: as pesto paired with parmesan!

It’s basically the only way I really enjoy the wild garlic as it’s pretty dominant in taste and – not surprising – very garlic-ish. But I can go super crazy with adding this pesto to anything! My favorite is a spinach quesadilla but of course any dressing, pasta sauce, dip, sandwich… benefits of a nice little garlic-ish twist! And as a plus, it’s super easy to make and takes you only five minutes!

Wild Garlic Parmesan Pesto

Author: Juli

Ingredients

• 100 g wild garlic - round about two full hands
• 1/2 cup roasted pine seed
• 3/4 cup parmesan
• 3 T olive oil
• 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

• Give the wild garlic and pine seed in a food processor and pulse
• Add the other ingredients and pulse again until you reach the desired consistency
• Done!

Notes

Store it in an airtight glass up to a few weeks
If you don't possess a food processor you can also use a hand-held blender or even a mortar and pestle. If you use a mortar make sure to pestle the ingredients bit by bit.
You can prevent pesto from going off by covering it with more olive oil. The oil seals the pesto and keeps it fresh
Don't make this pesto or don't try this pesto right before you have to see clients. After all it's made of garlic 😉
