To blanch the nettles

Blanch the nettle leaves for approx. 30 secs., remove with a slotted spoon, briefly dip in ice-cold water, drain, pat dry.

Pesto

Puree the nettles, sunflower seeds, garlic, salt and half of the oil in a food processor. Stir in the remainder of the oil and cheese. Transfer the pesto to clean jars, cover with a little oil and seal tightly.

Good to know
Note: Only pick young leaves and shoots (March - June). Wear gloves when picking as the plant is covered in “hairs” that act like needles when they come into contact with the skin and can cause an unpleasant burning sensation.
Shelf life: Refrigerate in an airtight container for approx. 3 weeks. Once opened, consume the pesto quickly.
Tip: Use the pesto with pasta, as a spread on crostini or mixed into hummus.
