Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 3 bunches of wild garlic
  • 2 lemons or limes
  • 1 handful of seeds, mixed
  • 2 peppers, red
  • 500 ml olive oil
  • some salt and pepper
  • some sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

simple, fresh, delicious

Remove the stalks from the wild garlic, wash, and spin dry. Halve the peppers, remove the seeds, and cut the pods into pieces. Squeeze the lemons. Roast the seeds (e.g., pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, or pine nuts; they’re also delicious with walnuts) without fat and let cool. First, finely chop the seeds in a food processor, then roughly chop the wild garlic and add them. Drizzle with a little olive oil and blend everything. Season the mixture with the lemon/lime juice, a little salt, pepper, sugar, and the peppers. Blend everything thoroughly, let it sit for a while, and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can also add arugula and/or parsley. I only mix in Parmesan cheese if I need the pesto right away. The pesto tastes delicious with pasta but also on toasted bread.
