Stinging Nettle Pesto Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup blanched & cut Stinging Nettle Leaves
- 1 to 3 small cloves of garlic
- 6 Tablespoons of finely grated Hard Cheese (4 for blending and 2 for adding with lemon, so you have more texture) I use Parmesan
- 1/3 cup Walnut halves
- 4 to 8 tablespoons (depending on consistency you want) of Olive Oil, your favorite quality, local variety
- Salt
- Juice of 1 Lemon or Orange if you prefer some sweetness
I love this Pesto with fermented carrots, or on crackers and on homemade pasta too,
Enjoy
