RE: Making Delicious Pesto

Mmmmm, yum! Yes - lovely post, @stortebeker and @riverflows - aye; we make pesto with pestel & mortar, using all kinds of stuff we find in our garden, kitchen and the wilds... lately, si, with nettles to pad out our meagre basil supplies: nomnom!

I'm looking forward to experimenting with different greens coming up on our land 😍🙌🤗 and with flowers too 😋🥳

First time I made pesto I used a mortar too. It's pretty common here in Mexico, for making salsa (which, let's face it, is just another form of pesto). But very quickly I switched to the blender, for obvious reasons. Nettles are yummie, but I love your idea of making whatever-pesto: whatever happens to be growing, greens and flowers.
