Great Health Benefits of Garlic – with garlic pesto

Thursday April 15th

I’ve a great article in the Cork Independent this week on the health benefits of garlic and a yummy Wild Garlic pesto that I had for breakfast this morning on a slice of sour dough rye and a poached egg. I had a good handful of blueberries as I was making making breakfast – making it a complete meal.

The idea of having a complete meal for breakfast is so important in terms of your healthy eating plan, if you want to start our day on the right note and reduce those cravings for sweet things later in the day. So I had some protein (in the form of a poached egg), some whole grain carbohydrate (in the form of a sour dough rye toast) and some fibre (a handful of blueberries). Remember that basic rule for breakfast and you can’t go wrong on healthy living!! Check out my recipe on:

Wild Garlic Pesto

A large handful of wild garlic
30 grams of cashews
35 grams of Parmesan
1 clove of garlic
8 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
A little sea salt, freshly cracked pepper and sugar to taste

If you have any stems with flowers on, remove flower heads and sprinkle over your dinner!
Take stems and leaves and place in a food processor with garlic, cashews and Parmesan.
Blitz for a minute until well mixed and then slowly add the olive oil while the machine is still running.
Taste and if needed, add a little salt, pepper and sugar.
Store in fridge covered with a little olive oil.

A great healthy snack is this pesto on rye toast!
