Wild Garlic Pesto

Gathered from the forest floor, where shadows dance and the air hums with the scent of green. Wild garlic, plucked by careful hands, crushed into a vibrant, untamed pesto—earthy, sharp, and alive with the memory of the woods.

My new creation this year, stirred through mashed potatoes with crushed olives, just divine
