My mom never really liked to cook, so she always made the same recipes over and over again. This - at least very similar - recipe was one of them. No matter how much we searched, we could not find of the recipe book that contained the recipe for this dish. So using every little memory I kept in my taste buds, I tried to recreate the original recipe. Of course, I had to spice it up a bit, my mom’s food didn’t contain wild garlic pesto, but it couldn’t ruin anything. I hope you give it a try, and it was worth that much experimenting.

what can I substitute instead of handfuls of wild garlic? I don't really have access to this.

  I would use regular garlic. It’s just not as strong as the wild garlic. 😉
