Nettle Pesto


  • 1-2 cups olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped pine nuts, walnuts, or cashews
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • Several handfuls freshly picked nettles
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
To make the pesto:
  • Combine the olive oil, nuts, and garlic in a blender or food processor and blend until creamy. Add the nettles 9yes, raw and unsteamed!) a handful at a time and blend thoroughly, until the pesto becomes a creamy paste. (As long as you blend well, making sure the nettle has been pureed thoroughly, there won't be any sting.) add the Parmesan and stir well.
