Ingredients

150g · Wild Garlic Leaves

1 · Clove of Garlic

Lemon Juice

50g · Pine Nuts

50g · Cheese/Parmesan

100ml · Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Pinch of Salt and Pepper

Method

1. Thoroughly wash the wild garlic leaves, making sure you remove any soil. But try to be gentle so as not to bruise the leaves.

2. Add the leaves to a food processor and add in the garlic, lemon juice, cheese and pine nuts.

3. Start to blend and slowly pour in the olive oil.

4. Add the salt and pepper and blend again. Taste to see if you need to add more oil, seasoning or lemon juice.

Store in a clean and sterilised mason jar or container - it should last around two weeks if kept in the fridge.
