Servings:
3 jars of pesto (500 g each)
  • Ingredients
    • 400 g roasted cashew
    • 8 bunches of wild garlic
    • 300 ml olive oil
    • 2 Tbsp salt
  • Cooking instructions. Step by step
    • Add the roasted cashew, wild garlic, olive oil and salt in a food processor and mix until you get a creamy, flavourful paste.
    • Wash the jars and sterilize them by placing them in the oven at 100 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes.
    • Fill the jars with the wild garlic pesto, leaving a little space at the top.
    • Pour a layer of olive oil over the pesto to seal it and prevent air from entering the jar.
    • Close the jars tightly and place them in a pot filled with cold water. The water should reach the lids level.
    • Cover the pot with a wet cloth or a lid and heat it on the stove until the water reaches boiling point.
    • Once boiling, turn off the heat and leave the jars in the hot water (still covered) for about 6 hours or until the water has cooled down.
    • After the jars have cooled, store them in a cool place, away from direct sunlight. They can be refrigerated and consumed within 6 months.
