Ingredients
Preparation
First, wash the wild garlic (50 g) thoroughly under cold water, shake dry, and chop coarsely.
Briefly roast the walnuts (40 g) in a pan without fat until they are fragrant – this adds a wonderful aroma.
Now place the wild garlic (50 g) together with the walnuts (40 g) and olive oil (60 ml) into a blender, or crush everything traditionally in a mortar until you reach a creamy consistency.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon (0.5) and stir it into the pesto along with a pinch of sea salt (1 pinch) to highlight the freshness.
Pour the finished pesto into a small jar and enjoy immediately or store it tightly sealed in the refrigerator.
