Watercress and Wild Garlic Pesto

 

This really is so easy that a child can do it – my eight-year old daughter did!  I tend to freeze this in ice cube portions and use it for all manner of dishes from pasta with bacon to grilled chicken and salad, or salmon fillets.  Tasty, healthy, easy – what more could you ask?

 

1 bunch watercress, washed and the tough stalks removed

1 bunch wild garlic, washed

2 tablespoons sunflower seeds

4 tablespoons parmesan or other hard, salty, tasty cheese

Extra virgin olive oil, 250ml

Salt and pepper

 

Get out your food processor, bung everything in to it andwhizz to a nubbly puree.  That’s it!  Season with a little salt and pepper to tasteand you’ve got the basis for loads of quick and easy meals.
