River Cottage Sorrel Pesto With Goat's Cheese

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 1 small garlic clove, peeled and crushed
• young sorrel (1-2 handfuls, about 45g in weight)
• flat leaf parsley, stalks removed (1 small bunch)
• sea salt
• 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 30 g hard goat's cheese, grated

Directions

1. 1

   In a small frying pan over a medium heat, lightly toast the pine nuts until they're just beginning to turn golden, then tip out into a food processor. Add the garlic, sorrel, parsley and a pinch of salt to the pine nuts, then pulse a few times until roughly chopped and combined. Slowly pour in the olive oil, pulsing as you go, until the pesto is the consistency you like.

2. 2

   Spoon the pesto mixture into a bowl and stir in the goat's cheese. The pesto will keep, sealed in a jar with a slick of olive oil over the top, for about a week.
