Wild Garlic & Pesto

Sowed a second batch of rocket, spinach and lettuce leaves (Salad Bowl Red) and also some more kohl rabi.
My oregano has gone a bit mad so I'll be using a heap of it with the lamb tomorrow.

The first of the wild garlic, which I have in a pot, is just flowering.

I pinched a few leaves to make a very small jar of the amazing Sarah Raven's Wild Garlic Pesto.
Great with fish, chicken, meat, bread, anything! I love it and I love her! This recipe is from her 'Garden Cookbook'.

Also made a small jar of Parsley & Almond Pesto for our neighbours and a jug of Apple, Rhubarb and Mint juice for the kids to share. This was heavenly, will definitely juice this one again. Not having much success with my own rhubarb though. The snails and the netball seem to be giving it a pasting.


Parsley & Almond Pesto

 A handful of parsley
A few blanched almonds,
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Salt & Pepper
Sunflower oil (enough to cover parsley and then add more to get the right consistency
Blitz with a hand blender, pour into a jar and cover with more oil to keep the air out.
