Wild Garlic Pesto

If only I could show you my lovely dinner!  

Whilst I was sat crocheting the scallop around my blue blanket, lovely Mr W was making dinner.  I feel like one of those Facebook people that report what they have had for Tea.

This is however a receipe, oh and we love it!

Wild Garlic Pesto.

I am afraid it may come a little late for you to be foraging in the woods, as the last time I went out for some was mid May.  You can't miss it as you can smell it.  So if you are about in the wood today.... Have a look for it.

It grows like a blanket in the woods.  I remember once when I was a Venture Scout, we went camping, pitching our tent on wild garlic and what a night we had, it was so strong and pretty unbareable.  I can't remember if my parents said anything when I got home, but I must of stank!

Well from camping on it to eating it.

My cousin wilts it like spinach and cooks it in quiches, yum but my favourite so far it Pesto.

100g of fresh wild garlic leaves

50g of pine nuts

200ml of olive oil

75g cheddar cheese

Good pinch of salt

Pinch of sugar

Blend together to a fine paste.  I make it and freeze it.  Then when you want to use it, we cook pasta, chicken and toast pine nuts.

Make sure you don't have a leaky blender like I did, its nice but not that I wanted to be showered in it!
