I finished work at 4.15pm today so I thought if I hurry home I may be able to harvest those leaves in the light. Sadly it was dark by 4.45pm so it was a job to be done with my trusty head torch!
I managed to harvest 30g of leaves. Pretty good for some last of the season pesto.
I didn't have all the usual ingredients for the pesto and threw it together with what I had in the kitchen but it made some mighty fine pesto.
Here's tonight's ingredients:
30g pesto leaves
Rapeseed oil/balsamic vinegar (left over from a used jar of slow roasted tomatoes)
2 garlic cloves
A generous scoop of pickled nasturtium seeds
I whizzed it together in the food processor and it's something like a vinaigrette pesto combination. When I tasted it for seasoning it was perfect - no seasoning required. Very peppery!
