Recipe Tips
Feel free to adjust the quantities to suit your tastes and double up if you’re making a big batch. This pesto should last at least 2 weeks as long as you maintain a layer of oil on top. If you sterilise your jars properly, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t last 3–4 months.

Instructions
- Method
- Blend the wild garlic, hazelnuts, rapeseed oil and lemon juice in a high-powered blender or food processor, until you reach a rough, pesto-like consistency
- Scrape down the sides of the processor with a spatula and add the pecorino and a good pinch of salt. Blend again, taste, and add more salt if needed.
- Transfer to a sterilised jar and cover the top of the pesto with a thin layer of oil to help keep it fresh. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
