Nettle Pesto

Hello Everyone and Happy ST. Patrick Day 🙂

For the last couple of weeks I have prepared this pesto with crackers quite a lot. Well my mum did- I just ate it most of the time. We started preparing it by accident, with crackers looking to add something to them. Our first attempt was more of a sauce, more liquid, and slowly we started improving the texture and quantities.

You can make it in a minutes, it is very tasty, goes with everything and is so refreshing.


Time To Prepare: 5-7 min

  • 70 gr. Nettle
  • 1/2 (1 tsp) Mustered seeds
  • 5 gr. flax seeds
  • 50-70 gr. sunflower seeds
  • 40 gr. sesame seeds
  • 5 gr. salt
  • 200 ml. water
  • 1 tbsp. lemon
  1. In a top place water so it can cover the nettle.
  2. After it start boiling place the nettle and wait for a minute or so and take away.
  3. Place all ingredients in a blender and pulse a few times until homogenous mixture.
  4. It is great for Crakers, fish and meat 🙂

A few additional notes:

If you dont have nettle you can try with spinach or other green leaves. In this case you dont need to blanche them.

The muster seeds are quite strong, so I will recommend to try first with 1/2 tsp. taste it and see how you will like the taste if is not so strong for you, add another 1/2 tsp. or in total should be 1 tsp.

If you want very thick add more sunflower seeds 😉

And as I dont use too much salt this quantity is good for me but you can add more to make it for your taste.

Here the homemade Crakers were already finished so I tried it with rice Crakers still tasty 🙂

Enjoy 🙂
