Pesto Petiolata
Submitted by: Andrea Hoerr ahoerr@yahoo.com
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove
2 Tbl pine nuts or walnut pieces
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cups of garlic mustard leaves or use 2 cups garlic mustard and 2 cups basil leaves
Place all of the ingredients except the basil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, then add the garlic mustard and/or basil a handful at a time, blending until all of the greens are incorporated and the pesto is smooth. Makes about 1 cup.
Notes: For the best flavor, pick the leaves before the plant has flowered. I personally wouldn't use leaves from roadside plants because I don't know what the roadside crews use on the roads or along the roads. If freezing, omit the cheese and add in when ready to use the pesto. I like to freeze 1/4 scoops of pesto in baggies, then cut the corner off and squeeze the pesto out.

Apple and Knotweed Pie
Recipe from Steve Brill’s “Shoots and Greens of Early Spring in Eastern North America”
Crust
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or buckwheat flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried spearmint
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 cup almond oil, vegetable oil, or butter
1/2 cup apple juice, or as needed.
1. Chill all ingredients
2. Mix the flour with the seasonings.
3. Cut in the oil. Mix until you have the consistency of wet sand. Use
your judgment to determine exactly how much oil or butter you need.
4. Slowly mix in the cold apple juice until you have a dough that's elastic and pliable but not mushy.
5. Press this into an oiled 9" pie pan. (A 50/50 mixture of liquid
lecithin and oil makes the best substance for oiling baking surfaces.)
Save the excess dough. You can use it on top of the pie filling or you
can freeze it for later use.
Filling
2-1/4 cups sliced tart apples
1/4 cup sliced Japanese knotweed
1/2 cups apple juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. powdered ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/4 cup each black walnuts and English (commercial) walnuts, or l/2 cup English walnuts
3 tbs. tapioca, arrowroot, or kudzu
1. Mix all filling ingredients together.
2. Prick holes in the crust with a fork, then fill it with the filling.
3. Put excess dough on top, lattice style, if desired.
4. Bake at 425 degrees ten minutes, checking to see that the crust doesn't burn.
5. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and turn the pie pan so the heat is better distributed.
6. Bake another 30 minutes or until the crust is crisp and the filling is bubbly.
