Foraging for Wild Garlic (feat. The Kids!)
On the hunt for some wild garlic. Usually found in abundance up in the north of England, and probably a ton of other places too. Simple to identify given its shape, smell and taste, but as always if you’re unsure, don’t pick it. But my 3 and 5 year old can Identify it, so I think you should be good...
Picked on 8th April, a little later than planned, but still plenty of leaves in good condition.
Store in an air tight container in the fridge and use within a few days - they wilt really quick.
Excellent on a sandwich in place of lettuce, makes a nice pesto with some pine nuts and olive oil and can be used to make little “parcels” with food inside. Just oven cook for 30-40 minutes, depending on what you put inside, but I’ve used pre-cooked risotto before. If people show interest, I may even show some these recipes in future videos.
Video is a little chaotic as I had both girls on this day by myself, trying to talk, pick, film etc. got a little crazy, but hopefully you enjoy and find it useful! I walked passed this stuff for years before knowing what it was and that it edible and really tasty, so passing on what I know... 👍😁
Take it easy all!
