The Best Wild Garlic Pesto In Just Few Minutes

In spring, wild garlic leaves replace chives, onion greens and garlic. The first fresh leaves sprout in March. Although this plant grows unchecked in numerous places, wild garlic is not a weed. In May, when the plant begins to bloom, the distinctive aroma of the leaves diminishes significantly.

Nowadays, you can also buy spicy wild garlic in the vegetable departments of discounters and supermarkets. Wild garlic can be used to quickly make delicious delicacies, for example a delicious wild garlic pesto.

Ingredients( For 4 Servings)

• 175 grams of wild garlic
• 160 ml sunflower oil
• 30 grams of pine nuts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 30 grams grated Parmesan

Preparation

Wash the wild garlic thoroughly and then spin dry. Cut off the stems, chop the leaves roughly and put them in a blender.
