Fermented Wild Garlic Sauce & Wild Garlic Pesto

Wild garlic (Allium ursinum) grows in a damp spot under a walnut tree in the garden. The oval leaves come out of a bulb, shiny on top and matt underneath. They taste a bit like garlic, but are not sharp. It is said to be good for cardiovascular health.
