Wild Garlic & Pumpkin Seed Pesto

A must-have in my kitchen! I enjoy adding seeds to pesto, not only for the texture but also for the extra minerals like zinc. Making a large batch is a great idea! You can enjoy this delicious wild garlic & pumpkin seed pesto with pasta, drizzle it over fish dishes, serve it with chicken, or spread it on your favourite bread.

Wild Garlic & Pumpkin Seed Pesto

Ingredients:

• 170g wild garlic

• 180ml extra virgin olive oil

• Juice of 1 lemon

• 3 garlic cloves

• 100g pumpkin seeds

• 50g walnuts

• 20g pine nuts

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

Method: Add everything to a blender and blend until you get a slightly grainy consistency.

Serve stirred through pasta with:

• ~20g grated cheese (I love goat gouda—it tastes like parmesan)

• A dollop of goat’s yoghurt for creaminess

• Cooked greens like kale or cavolo nero.

You can keep this in the fridge for up to a week—or freeze it for later.
