The story behind this recipe
Fir tips are everywhere at this time of year, and right now they are at their freshest, softest, and tastiest. You can use them just as they are in salads, or you can season dishes with them, using them as a substitute for rosemary. You can also make syrup from them or infuse them into an herbal liqueur. Today I prepared a fir bud pesto, and the result was beyond expectations. I used: a good handful of washed buds, a garlic clove, a little lemon juice, a little lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan, 1 tablespoon of hazelnuts (you can replace with walnuts, almonds, or pine nuts), olive oil, salt, pepper. Throw it all in the food processor and voilà! We can use this pesto in pasta, for bruschetta, or to flavor a sauce. Enjoy! ## Source: Facebook (2023-05-28) The forest is full of fir buds 🌲🌱 These little buds abound in vitamin C, minerals, and a multitude of antioxidant properties, and the taste is DI-VINE! 💚 You can find the #pesto recipe on the blog🌿 To your health 🤗
