Run by the lovely ladies at @PickItCookIt near Ashurst and the first of two workshops I've booked up.
Also known as Ransoms, wild garlic is one of the Spring plants that you can't miss when you come across them, due to their strong, pungent aroma. They're found in woodland, often along stream and river banks.
After coffee and scones ... containing wild garlic ... on arrival - we head out to pick the wild garlic from the wooded area on the farm, alongside the stream. On the way back we drop by the veg patch to pick a few leeks and then back to the outdoor workspace to put together pesto.
Pretty easy to make: Finally chop the greenery - wild garlic and leek or onion if you prefer then mix roughly 2 parts greenery to 1 part grated hard cheese + 1 part crushed nuts - whatever you prefer, walnuts, hazel, almonds. Add seasoning and spices to taste, mix with a good virgin olive oil or rapeseed to a paste. Whatever combination and as rough or finely chopped as you like.
Tastes delicious on bread, with pasta or mixed in with pretty much anything. It got added to pretty much everything I was cooking that week!
