A Girl & Her Food: Sorrel Pesto

Sorrel Pesto


For Mother's Day at my Aunt's house, we decided to make a sorrel pesto, with sorrel which was freshly picked from her herb garden. This was my first experience with sorrel, and I fell in love with the flavor.  I decided afterward, to pick a little extra to take home into my kitchen, so I could make it again. Sorrel's bitter flavor comes from oxalic acid, which is also contained in spinach, rather than essential oils like most other herbs.  It's best use is in salads, pestos and sauces.  Before cooking with sorrel, always pull off the stem and thick vein.
