Teenager optional! Bless her little bare feet and may I be forgiven...Teenagers can be useful...Today our annual pilgrimage to collect wild garlic...I know where it grows and have been collecting it there for over a decade...but today I 'conveniently' forgot that it was on the other side of the river...Fortunately I had the teenager with me...That water was cold, it is April and we are in the mountains but she was willing...I love her soooo much...wild garlic pesto for supper...I am not sure if I have a recipe as such but nuts, cheese, olive oil, salt and wild garlic...I also added a clove of 'proper' garlic...I had some pine nuts but there weren't really enough so I also used some ground almonds...I used a very full salad spinner of the wild garlic...the rest will be used for other meals...I just wizz it all up to make the pesto...It can be quite dry so I also stir through some of the pasta boiling water as we are serving...Delicious, healthy... my spring tonic
Firstly tell her you will take care of her phone...
Direct her gently...
When your teenger has dried off and warmed up take your haul home
Make your pesto...glass of wine not compulsory but definitely adds to the experience
Please do remember to feed your teenager...Disclaimer: No teenagers were hurt in the making of this post
