Dunbrody Wild Garlic Pesto recipe from Kevin Dundon:

wild garlic pesto

Ingredients

300g (10½oz) wild garlic (about 1 large handful of cloves)

15g (½oz) parmesan cheese, grated

Juice of ½ lemon

½ tsp coriander seeds, crushed

250ml (9fl oz) olive oil

Salt and black pepper

 

Tip: Try using coriander (cilantro) as an alternative if you find wild garlic hard to locate.

 

Method

Whizz all the ingredients in a food processor, or purée with a handheld blender, until the mixture is smooth.

 

The pesto will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Although it will darken slightly in colour over time, it will still be delicious – the flavours will just be more mature. Perfect for drizzling over home-made pizzas, salads, soups, grilled meats & fish or anything that takes your fancy.

 

We love to use it on freshly-baked brown bread lathered with butter and then drizzled with pesto.
