Ramson (Wild Garlic) Pesto
My favourite way of preserving the fleeting loveliness of Wild Garlic, which is notoriously difficult to capture! Thanks to Biddy White- Lennon for the original idea.
Ingredients
Method
Buzz washed, dried garlic with oil, add nuts and continue to blend. Finish with cheese, lemon juice and seasoning. Jar in sterile pots, cover with a film of oil. That's it!
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
