I’ve got loads of wild garlic at the moment so I’ve just made an ‘English pesto’:

150g wild garlic

50g toasted hazelnuts

50g grated cheddar

150 ml cold-pressed single estate rapeseed oil

Whizz together in a food mixer and then add salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice. Keeps for weeks in the fridge with a thin layer of oil on top to stop oxidation. It’s much milder than normal pesto so as well as using with pasta, it also goes very nicely with fish, chicken and lamb

Chicken Kyiv made with wild garlic. I served it pub stylee with chips and peas. We had a Viognier with this and it was sublime

Mrs W is not a fan of lamb, so I tried a beef roast. Turned out okay, and with the wines was very delicious. Can’t believe how tender the beef was, my son was laughing as I asked where to cut it. A very good outcome for a cut I wasn’t used to.
