Nettle Pesto

Nettle Pesto is not only incredibly easy to make, but is also very healthy and one of our favorites here at Green String Farm!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of Green String nettles
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons of Pine nuts or almonds
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• Salt to taste
• Olive Oil

​

Directions:
​First make sure to boil water and use tongs to place nettles in boiling water for about 60 seconds. (this will rid the nettles of any stinging properties).
​Strain, dry, and finely chop nettles before adding them to a food processor. 
Once nettles are added, add in pine nuts (or whichever nut you choose), parmesan, finely chopped garlic, and begin to pulse your food processor. Slowly add in olive oil and salt. Depending on your consistency preference olive oil amounts will change!

How easy is that!? ENJOY on bread, pasta, or simply as dip!
