The story behind this recipe
I was so looking forward to spring arriving, and finding spinach, wild garlic, dock, lesser celandine, and all its riches at the market again. I want to make the most of the goodies it gifts us!!
Today I prepared a delicious wild garlic pesto which I used to season a zucchini salad. For the pesto, I used a bunch of wild garlic, 2 tablespoons of pine nuts from Alevia, a pinch of coarse salt, lemon juice, a little chilli, and extra virgin olive oil.
I ground them all in a mortar and mixed them with the thin zucchini slices. All I needed was some sourdough bread and it was perfect.
Have a tasty spring!!
