Classical recipe, pesto, with Estonian twist. For base I used tart and fresh spruce tips, combined with hazelnuts and local hard cheese.
Wonderful combination and spread for a rye bread or as salad.
Light green, healthy and direct from nature 🙂

I lived in a spruce forest in my younger life and would nip off the spruce tip and eat then when hiking. Wow, I never thought of making a pesto. Must take a hike on the forrest and harvest some tips so I can try this recipe.
