    Wild Garlic Pistachio Pesto Zoodles

    It’s that time of the year in early Spring when wild garlic grows wild around Vienna. So of course, I went on the hunt for this versatile plant while it lasts. The long and lush green leaves have a strong garlic scent. The intense smell guided me when harvesting wild garlic, also called ramson or wood garlic. So be sure to not mistake the plant for the similar-looking lily of the valley leaves which are poisonous when eaten.

    The insane amount of wild garlic I harvested last weekend, inspired me to really put this flavourful plant to good use. So I got in the kitchen and develop some nutritious and flavourful wild garlic recipes.

    Starting it off with this Wild Garlic Pistachio Pesto Zoodles, combining three green powerhouses. Make this easy wild garlic recipe for lunch or dinner, to satisfy all your pesto cravings while nourishing your body in the process.

    Tips for making Wild Garlic Pesto Zoodles

    This recipe is super easy to prepare. Follow these tips to get the best result:

    • Always buy organic zucchinis when using the skin. Whenever I can, I buy all the produce I use in the kitchen from weekly markets and little shops that sell produce from local farmers.
    • When preparing wild garlic, thoroughly wash it first under cold water and remove the stems. Then roughly chop and use.
    • Use a non-stick pan when roasting the zucchini noodles. The zoodles won’t stick to the pan and get mushy.

    Without further ado, scroll down for the mouthwatering recipe, sure to satisfy your pesto cravings in no time.
