Vegan wild garlic pesto

  1. Wash the wild garlic well and place on a clean kitchen towel to dry, then roughly chop.
  2. Carefully process the chopped wild garlic in portions with a little oil in the food processor to form a paste (do not overmix).
  3. Mix in the vegan parmesan and season with salt.
  4. Enjoy directly with spaghetti or fill into preserving jars.


Tip!

If you want to store the pesto in a preserving jar, add a layer of rapeseed oil on top before you screw the lid on and keep it in the fridge. It will keep for a good two to three weeks.

It's best to make double or triple the amount of vegan Parmesan. That way, you'll always have vegan sprinkled cheese for pasta in stock.
