Nasturtium Pesto

15th September 2013 By Urvashi Roe

I cannot believe how tasty nasturtium leaves are. I’ve had them in salad before and rather love the peppery taste but in this simple pesto they have an intense flavour that reminds me of mild watercress.

Nasturtium pesto
Something this vibrant and green must be good for you!

You’ll need

  • 100g nasturtium leaves
  • 3 large garlic cloves
  • 70g Parmesan cheese
  • 70g almonds – roughly chopped
  • 160ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 1tsp salt

To make it simply blend all the ingredients together in a Magimix until you get a thick paste! That’s it. Really easy.
