This vibrant wild garlic and walnut pistou is a sophisticated, vegan-friendly condiment that celebrates the brief but beautiful ramp season. By charring the ramps in a hot frying pan, you mellow their pungent bite and introduce a subtle smokiness that balances the earthy, toasted notes of the walnuts. It offers a rustic texture and a deep, savoury flavour profile that is far more complex than a standard pesto.
As a versatile addition to your spring repertoire, this pistou works beautifully swirled into a bowl of seasonal minestrone, drizzled over new potatoes, or simply spread onto toasted sourdough. The use of high-quality olive oil and a touch of white wine vinegar provides a bright finish, making it an excellent way to elevate simple grains and roasted vegetables.
