Stinging Nettle Pesto
Stinging Nettle Pesto
Stinging Nettle Pesto
Nettles, native to Europe and Asia is a plant with tiny little hairs that when touched inject a small amount of formic acid that creates a rather powerful stinging sensation. The sensation will go away after a few hours.
When nettles are boiled the "stinging" property is removed and it leaves a healthy "green" which can be eaten like spinach or in this case made into a pesto.
