The perfect pairing for cheese, cured meats and olives – grissini is a guaranteed hit for al fresco get togethers. Originating in Turin in Italy, around the 17th century, they were initially created as a way to provide a long, easily-eaten bread that wouldn’t go stale quickly. But we don’t think you’ll need to worry about these hanging around for too long – they are deliciously moreish.

We’ve used some sourdough starter in this recipe but they are just as good with instant yeast and refreshingly simple to make. Enjoy them with our wild garlic pesto and smoked hummus, or an antipasti platter.

Bellissimo!

A true seasonal delight, our wild garlic pesto is a must-try during the small window that it is in season. It can be found from February to May but the plant reaches its full leafy glory in April which makes it the PERFECT time to head out on a foraging expedition!

We’ve stuck to the classic pesto flavours for this one; lemon for zing, pine nuts and parmesan for nuttiness and a little extra garlic clove to complement the punchy wild garlic flavour. Serve it over pasta, spread on bruschetta or add a little extra oil for a pesto dressing for salad, fish, chicken or new potatoes.
