My recipe for radish leaf pesto.

My radishes that I planted as seed last Autumn, have run to seed. The roots have become woody and hence, inedible. They are fit only for the compost heap - but wait! The leaves are still quite good.

So here's my recipe for radish leaf pesto. Chop the leaves - enough to fill the food processor container - and put into the food processor. Add about a half teasp. of sea salt. Pepper. I large garlic clove chopped. Some chilli, if you like added heat. Blitz, so that the leaves start to form a paste. Toast about half cup of pine nuts or walnuts and add. About half cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Blitz again. Add generous amount of rape seed oil, or olive oil, and juice of one lemon to moisten the paste, and give a final blitz. Store in a jar, with a tight lid, in the fridge. Goes great with oily fish, such as mackerel or sardines.

I guess you could use mustard greens, water cress, wild rocket in the same way to get a more peppery pesto.
