Lebanese Wild Fennel Pesto Recipe

By 3 Comments

This Lebanese Wild Fennel Pesto recipe is not your typical pesto. The addition of dates and hazelnuts makes a delicious spread that pairs amazingly with goat cheese and seedy crackers. A variation of this recipe was shared by a friend Heather, and was passed on to her from a Lebanese friend.

Wild Fennel is a common weed originating from the Mediterranean, and while it resembles dill, it offers a distinct anise, or licorice, aroma and flavour.
