Sacla’, the Pesto Pioneers, have created a delightfully distinctive new recipe to inspire and excite both you and your cooking – Wild Garlic Pesto.
Truly irresistible, gorgeous wild garlic is combined with fragrant Basil to tantalise your taste buds and fire your imagination.
Just stir through your favourite cooked pasta and shower with Parmesan or spread a generous spoonful on to a sliced Ciabatta and bake. For the ultimate comfort creation swirl through creamy mashed potato and serve with love!
Wild garlic is good for you too; It contains more magnesium, manganese, iron and sulphur than common garlic, helping to keep you healthy and prevent illnesses.
Wild garlic grows in woodland amongst the bluebells and along the river banks. Its long lush leaves are similar to those of the Lily of the Valley and it bursts into bloom with white flowers and a unique garlic scent.
Unlike domestic garlic, wild garlic is championed for its leaves rather than its bulb. The bulbs, along with the flowers, are edible, but are much smaller in quantity. Wild garlic is milder than domestic garlic and the leaves are delicious both raw and cooked, and works well in salads and soups.
If foraging amongst woodland sounds too arduous, Sacla’ have made it nice and easy for you capturing all the flavour and goodness in a handy jar of Wild Garlic Pesto! And if you really want to bring out your wild side, why not try these delicious recipes for Prawn and Wild Garlic Pesto Spaghetti, or Wild Garlic Pesto Mash – the most amazing accompaniment for any occasion.
