Recipe
1
Hazelnut roasting
Put the whole hazelnuts in a pan and roast them over medium heat for about 5 minutes. They should brown slightly.
2
Meanwhile, peel the garlic cloves then grind it in the mortar. Reserve the preparation in a bowl for example.
3
Preparation of salt and pepper
4
When the hazelnuts are ready, remove them from the pan and rub them together to remove the skin, it comes off pretty well after being dried. It's hard to remove everything, if there's any left, it doesn't matter at all!
5
Grind the hazelnuts in the mortar with salt and pepper.
6
Thoroughly wash and wring the radish tops so that there are no more grains of sand or small pebbles.
7
Blend the radish tops in several batches. Add a little olive oil to make the blender run better.
8
Add the hazelnuts, salt, pepper and mix until you have a light green paste that no longer contains too much fibre. There will inevitably be a little left because the tops are more stringy than basil!
9
Pour into jars and cover the surface with oil on 1/2 cm to improve conservation. We then recommend that you wait a few days before tasting your pesto so that the garlic has had time to soften.
