Lovage

Thomas planted lovage in our garden four years ago. It was about the size of one of those plastic drinking cups you get with a water cooler. He thought we could use it occasionally for soup. Lovage, like rhubarb seems to be a plant that can cope with the shitty Scottish climate and our lovage plant has this week grown taller even than my 6' husband. So I am in desperate need of lovage recipes. I think I'll give this one a go later in the week. Ideally, looking at my garden I could do with a recipe that needs both lovage and rhubarb... but I'm not sure I will find too many of those!

  1. Use it for pesto:

    200g letristede mandler
    1 stort bundt bredbladet persille (stilkene vrides af)
    Tilsvarende mængde løvstikke også uden store stilke
    1 fed hvidløg
    100g fast ost (her en rest Primadonna, men parmesan kan også bruges)
    Revet skal og saft af en øko citron
    Olivenolie

    Or just grab a handfull and blend it with oil, vinegar and garlic and pour it over some salad.
