So simple and easy. Will keep in the fridge for about a week, also good for freezing in ice cube trays for months. Fantastic with eggs and sautéed mushrooms. Wonderful with pasta and sundried tomatoes. Awesome spread on grilled protein of choice. Tasty licked off a spoon.

​

1. Big bag of raw nettle

2. 3 cloves of garlic (or less if you are not such a garlic fan)

3. ½ cup of olive oil

4. ½ cup of hemp seeds (or nut/ seed of choice/ whatever is in your pantry. Cashew adds a lovely sweetness, traditional pine nuts work well too)

5. 1 tsp salt

6. Juice of one lemon 

7. Bring a large pot of salted water to boil.  Add the nettles into the water without touching them – beware the sting – wear gloves or only touch the bag.  Allow them to simmer for 3-5 minutes until wilty and bright green.   

8. Drain & add to food processor with the rest of the ingredients.  Process until smooth.  Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
