Jump on the foraging bandwagon by picking your own wild garlic and making this delicious pesto!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this week my neighbour handed me a bunch of foraged wild garlic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was a little unsure what to do with it until a twitter friend suggested pesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are massive pesto fans in this house. Pesto pasta is my go-to dish when I need to rustle up a lunch or dinner in minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More often than not it’s the jarred variety so the thought of having my own homemade stash of this homemade wild garlic pesto was very appealing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had 80g of wild garlic and that was enough to fill a jam jar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make a larger batch, it will keep in a sealed jar or mason jar in the fridge for up to a week or it freezes well too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try freezing it in an ice cube tray for handy single servings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far I have stirred the pesto into spaghetti and slathered it onto my homemade soda bread. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the rest I plan to stuff a chicken breast and maybe make a pesto crumb for fish. Mmmmm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used equal measures of wild garlic, parmesan and pine nuts for my recipe but you can play around with the quantities to find a taste that your prefer. You can also add more or less oil depending on what consistency you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 **WARNING** If you plan to forage for your own wild garlic be careful not to confuse it with the Lily of the Valley<\/a> plant which is in fact poisonous.<\/p>\n\n\n
