Wild garlic pesto
Wild garlic is an edible plant with medicinal properties. It improves digestion, has antibacterial properties and lowers blood pressure. It is used for colds and respiratory problems among others, so it is worth using it as frequently as possible.
Needless to say, it is best when fresh but when dried it is also good for marinades and sauces. If you have an excess of fresh garlic, you can freeze it. Just clean it, wash it in water, dry it on a paper cloth and chop it up.
