The ingredients needed to make Fresh Wild Garlic Pesto:

- Add a squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the grated cheese.
- Roast the pine nuts in a dry pan over medium heat, stirring/turning them regularly. Keep your eyes on the pan, as they tend to burn quickly! Rove from the pan once they then golden brown, let cool and add to the pesto. Blend again.
- Add olive oil until the consistency is creamy and a little liquidy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
