Ingredients
  

  • 1-3 cloves of garlic peeled
  • handfuls of herbs I just cram enough mix of Nettles, Wild garlic, Three Cornered Leek , Basil or other herbsinto the blender
  • a good handful of nuts any variety or seed
  • a lemon
  • Nutritional yeast
  • Flax Farm Cold-Pressed Linseed (Flaxseed) Oil or 50/50 mix with olive oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly milled Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Rinse off nettles or garlic unter the tap to remove any grit or soil
  • Place the nuts or seeds and herbs in a blender and add enough oil to get it moving.
  • When the nuts look granular and the herbs well chopped add about a tablespoon or more of nutritional yeast and a good squeeze of lemon juice.
  • If it's too thick add more oil.
  • Adjust the seasoning with a little salt, some god grinds of black pepper and more lemon juice to taste.
  • Enjoy with pasta, meat, fish, vegetables, potatoes and I particularly like it with butter beans or chickpeas in a salad instead of salad dressing.
