Tyra's Garden is a small garden on the island of Resarö situated in the inner part of the archipelago near the small town Vaxholm, outside Stockholm. Tyra's Garden is mostly an ornamental vegetable garden, my potager. But flowers are of course an important ingredience, for beauty and pollination. The climate in these parts is quite demanding as the northerly winds can be strong and cold. THIS BLOG 'Tyra's Garden' is not entirely a gardenblog it contains much more. About me: Enthusiastic amateur gardener and photographer from Vaxholm, Sweden. Designed and built my Greenhouse and Potager in Tyra's Garden 2003.

Tyra’s Spanish Tarragon Pesto – Sweet Mace Pesto



RECIPE  - Tyra’s Spanish Tarragon Pesto – Sweet Mace Pesto



Ingredients:


45g (1/4 cup) pine nuts
3,5 dl/1 1/2 cups of fresh ‘Sweet Mace’ leaves
2 garlic cloves
60g (3/4 cup) shredded parmesan
¾ dl/ 5 tbls olive oil


This is a tarragon flavored variation of the Italian classic pesto. Do try it with meat, poultry or why not try it with fried courgettes or other vegetable from your kitchen garden.  

Roast the pine nuts on a baking tray in an oven on medium heat (200C.) for about five minutes or until they are done (light golden roasted) Remove the pine nuts  from the oven and tray and let cool. Place the ‘Sweet Mace’ herb, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan in a food processor and cut until it all is finely chopped. Now it is time to add the olive oil, pour it in slowly with the food processor on slow speed. Blend until it all is well blended. I hope you will enjoy the Sweet Mace Pesto (Spanish Tarragon Pesto)
