Pick your local stinging nettle and make Pesto
Recipe:
- Young top leaves of Stinging nettle (wear gloves to collect!) - make sure to pick them at a safe, clean spot where there always make sure to pick from safe, clean spot.
( +any other herbs u want to add: i added some wild garlic i found in my backyard)
- Parmesan
- roasted cashews (180* in oven 10 mins ) / or Pine nuts / or haselnuts (whatever u have and prefer)
- lemon zest
- salt
- garlic
- shitload of olive oil
Wash the greens. Then blanch them in boiling water for 1 min! This takes away the stinging from the leaves! Shock them in ice cold water instantly. Then blend together with the rest of the ingredients. Make sure to toast or roast your nuts for flavorful nutty aroma.
If you want it vegan you can add toasted breadcrumbs instead of parmesan.
U done kno! Add it to pasta, in sandwhiches, risotto, wherever u want.
Nettles are super healthy! Full of Nutrients, high in Iron, calcium and vitamin K and great antioxidant:)
