– 2 cups of Sorrel leaves – 2 garlic cloves – 1/4 cup of toasted cashew nuts – 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese – 1/2 cup of extra-virgin olive oil – A pinch of salt

1. Remove any debris, or roots from the Sorrel.  Wash the leaves, pat dry  and add them to a food processor with the garlic, cashew nuts, parmesan, and salt.

2. Pulse the ingredients until they are finely chopped.  Then slowly add the  olive oil until the mixture is smooth.

3. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. It may be necessary to add a little extra olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.

Serving Tips:  To make a quick and yummy meal, serve the Sorrel Pesto with some freshly cooked pasta or brown rice and a fresh side salad.
