[Weekend Herb Blogging] – Ramson pesto
Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday which means that April is nearly over again.I was so busy the last weeks I barely managed to write here :;/:
This week WHB is hosted by lovely Sher at What did you eat?
- a blog I love to visit not only because of the wonderful kittys Sundance & Upsie but also because of all that wonderful food thingys she posts all the time!
When I was home for easter my mom made a wonderful pesto and I liked it so much I wanted it to share wih you :smile:
Ramson & pine nut Pesto
1 handful of pine nuts
olive oil
Roughly cut the ramson. In your food processor mix ramson and pine nuts with olive oil until smooth. Ready! That’s quick isn’t it?
We had them the other day with spaghetti, some sea salt, fesh pepper and freshly grated grana and it was yummmy!
And I wanted to show you my mums herbal garden – we created this a few years ago when she had her 50th birthday because it was one of her biggest whishes. In German it’s called Kräuterschenke but sadly I don’t know how to call it in English.
When you look at the outline it looks like snail-shell and it has different zones for the different needs of herbs.
for lager images just klick the thumbnails above :^^:
Ramson or Bear’s garlic has properties close to common garlic, it cause a drop in blood pressure and prevents arteriosclerosis.
It relieves stomac pains, facilitates digestion, it is used to heal diarrhoeas, colics and stimulate appetite. Bear’s garlic is vermifuge. Some use it as a depurative healing 3 weeks every spring.More information available here
