A lovely and very tasteful Ramson and Parmesan Pesto. It’s so easy and fast todo and, best of all, ramson pesto can be varied endlessly and is a good accompaniment to many dishes.
When wild garlic is in season, using it to make pesto is the best way to showcase the delicate flavor of this springtime favorite. Tossed with pasta, simple tomato salad, grilled meatย or drizzled over a piece of steamed fish. I think you will be surprised at how delicious this wild garlic pesto is!
Normally, recipes for ramson and parmesan pesto also contain nuts. You can just as well use cashews, walnuts or almonds that are common in Germany and Italy or pine nuts that are more common in Swedish recipes. With nuts in pesto, it is possible to halve the amount of cheese to instead have as much cheese as nuts.
