Simple Green Pesto

Simple Green Pesto
🌱
This simple pesto has only four ingredients. It keeps up to three years in the refrigerator.

Pesto preserves the herbs antioxidant power.
Dandelion leaf pesto is bitter and tangy.
Chickweed pesto is mellow and grassy; use new growth.
Shiso or tulsi pesto is aromatic and romantic.
Garlic mustard pesto is bitter and spicy and delicious.
Garlic scape pesto is heaven on earth.

There are no specific amounts; use what is abundant.
Chop herb coarsely with a knife. Peel garlic and mince.
Half fill a mini-prep or blender with herb.
Add extra virgin olive oil to cover well.
Add minced garlic and some salt.
It is important to use salt. It acts as a preservative and it helps turn the green leaves into a paste (pesto).
Puree/blend well. Add more oil as needed.
Add more herb, more salt, and more garlic, too.
Pack almost to the top of a tall jar. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
Pour more olive oil over the top. Label on lid, refrigerate.

I love Garlic Mustard

I love Garlic Mustard

One of the most obvious weeds around me is garlic mustard. Growing in dense stands, it pleases the eye and the tongue. A truer bitter spring tonic is not to be found. I eat as much garlic mustard as I can all year long. Here's how.

I harvest garlic mustard by pulling the entire plant, root and all, out of the ground. These harvested plants are put into a big bucket with a couple of inches of water at the bottom, making sure the roots are in the water.

Russian Cold Remedy

Russian Cold Remedy

* Fill a small jar with unpeeled cloves of garlic.
* If desired, add one very small onion, cut in quarters, but not peeled.
* Fill the jar with honey.
* Label and cover.

This remedy is ready to use the next day. It is taken by the spoonful to ward off both colds and flus.

It is sovereign against sore throats, too. And it tastes yummy!

Astragalus

Astragalus is gaining fame for its ability to support strong immune system functioning.

I throw a few tongue-depressor-like pieces in my soups, where they infuse their goodness without imparting much flavor.

Powdered astragalus can be added to almost anything, from oatmeal to pancakes, soups to gravies.

And there is always the tincture, which works well in doses of 1-3 dropperfuls a day.
