WHAT DOES WILD GARLIC TASTE LIKE?

It has the same kind of allium notes as regular garlic, though not so full on, so it’s a bit sweeter and more delicate.

tips, tricks & hacks

• Mix through mashed potatoes for a more aromatic version of Irish colcannon. 
• Knead into fresh pasta dough.  
• Stir through cooked couscous or other grain salads – it’s great with bulgar wheat and plenty of fresh parsley in a tabbouleh.
• Use to bring a delicate flavour to soups and stews. 
• Sprinkle into sausage meat mixture for homemade sausage rolls. 
• Blend with butter and use to spread a baguette. Wrap it in foil, warm it in the oven and viola! – garlic bread. This butter is also brilliant melted over steaks or lamb chops.
• Fold into a cheese omelette. 
• Add to the dough for savoury cheese scones.

Rocket & wild garlic pesto

Because not all pestos have to be made with basil! 

1. Add a couple of handfuls of rocket leaves to the bowl of a food processor, along with several defrosted Wild Garlic portions. All some grated parmesan, finely grated lemon zest and a handful of hazelnuts or walnuts. Blitz into a coarse, chunky paste, then drizzle through enough cold-pressed rapeseed oil until you have a loose, sloppy sauce. 
   
   
2. Taste, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, as required, along with a grating of nutmeg, if you wish. Stir through freshly cooked pasta for a simple supper.
