Now I'm alll inspired - I have some rocket and lots parsley taking over out there too so this weekend I'm gonna get experimenting. Thanks for the tips. I hate buying non-recyclable pesto tubs (well, you can't in New Zealand anyway), and now I don't have too! Hooray! Yeah, I made a half-batch of the strong stuff and it’s really good.

This recipe makes quite a lot of pesto (I'd say around 2 cups), but really pesto is so easy you can make it in any amount with any herb. You might start with a half recipe and have some parsley or other herb on standby in case you find the nasturtium pesto too spicy. By the way, I've also been playing around with basil pesto by adding other fragrant herbs like rosemary and lavender (not too much!) and the results have been fabulous. Hi Hannah,

How much does it make? I'm wondering whether i ought to just test half a batch to begin with - any suggestions? xHannah Hey there

I’m over-run with nasturtium in my garden at the moment and thought this pesto sounds great. How much does it make? I’m wondering whether i ought to just test half a batch to begin with – any suggestions?
