Description

This wild herb pesto is an absolute taste sensation! I love to collect fresh ground elder and other wild herbs in the spring and use them to conjure up this spicy pesto. The garlic and Parmesan give it a strong note that goes perfectly with pasta, bread, or as a dip. It is super quick to prepare and brings the taste of spring to the table. A great recipe to enjoy the diversity of nature and create something special at the same time. Be sure to try it!
