    Title: Wild Garlic Pesto
    Categories: Pesto
    Yield: 1 Batch

    100 g Garlicky leaves
    50 g Parmesan; grated
    50 g Pine nuts; toasted
    Olive oil
    Lemon juice; to taste
    Salt & pepper

    It was the Dirty Weekenders' annual charity ceilidh last Thursday, and
    there was a raffle to raise money for the Scottish Wildlife Trust, so
    I decided to make some pesto as a raffle prize. I got all the leafy
    ingredients from Roslin Glen, which is a Dirty Weekenders project
    location, and one of my favourite places in the world.

    I collected Allium ursinum (Ramsons), Allium paradoxum (Few-flowered
    Leek), and Allaria petiolata (Garlic Mustard), all of which are
    really easy to identify and in full growth at the moment (late April).

    Blitz all of the leaves in a food processor until homogenized, but not
    pasty.

    Add the parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice, blitz again.

    Toast the pine nuts in a frying pan until fragrant, then add to
    mixture.

    Blitz again, but keep some chunky pine nuts.

    Season.
