Step:

  1. Blanch your garlic mustard leaves, I steam mine for about 2 minutes then air dry. The leaves will stick to each other. So I try to arrange them into my leaf wraps while they dry.

  2. Blanch for 1 minute your red nettle leaf and flower then chop. I like to use my ulu for this.

  3. Chop in your wild onion or garlic and break out the mortar and pestle. Combine your garlic, red dead nettle, pine nuts, sesame seed oil only add salt after you taste your pesto. Seriously! Salt is not important.

  6. Add almonds and dates with 2-4 tbsp of your pesto. I like to cut the sweet with the pesto so I tend to have 4 tbsp of my pesto. Let it sit until it gets room temperature. Should be nice and thick.
