Wild herb pesto

An incredibly healthy, fresh herb pesto made with wild herb robert and aromatic basil.

Ingredients

  • 30 g/huge handful herb robert
  • 30 g/huge handful basil leaves
  • 1 clove garlic crushed
  • 40 g Parmesan Pecorino or similar, finely grated
  • 1/2 lemon juice only
  • sea salt to taste
  • plenty of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Blend the herb robert, basil and garlic with enough olive oil to make a loose purée. Mix in the cheese and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. You should salt the pesto until it tastes delicious - it is impossible to give exact quantities, as everyone tastes differently, but the salt is essential for bringing out and uniting all the other flavours.

Notes

Freeze the pesto in ice cube trays to preserve the flavour, nutrition and colour most effectively.
