How do you forage wild garlic?? What bit do you eat? How do you use it?? I love the smell when I go walking at my dad's bit!
So the stalks you use almost exactly like chives. Great in a tattie salad. The leaves you can turn into pesto, or add to your salad, or add to a pico de gallo, or wild garlic soup is a thing
Like all foraging: go a little deeper, don't pick where the dog goes, and give a wash. And don't confuse it with anything else, it will smell pungently of garlic
So I pick the whole flower?? Thanks!!
Not sure about the actual flower and sort of petals, I usually stick to leaves and stalks
Ok next time i'm visiting at my dads I will go for a walk and get some!! Thanks!
Sum in ma back gairden, hud it wi new tatties, mayo, chives (alsae frae ae gairden) an dusted wi paprika. Lamb steaks the main event wi mint sauce, fit a brsw combo. Ann corn-oan-the-cob frae senegal which wis rather tasteless, forced grown shite
Sounds delicious (minus the corn on the cob).
This forager has some good advice. Is in England so the season starts a bit earlier than ours. But the advice itself is still sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNMxd-5LpPw
Thank you!!
