Wild garlic


Wild garlic

Early spring is the time to collect wild garlic leaves, growing in moist and shady area, these are picked from near a river. The picking last for 2 weeks, by the time flower stalk comes the leaves are a bit bitter.

The leaves are more tender, shorter and wider than those of eating garlic. Most commonly they are chopped up, mixed with oil and salt to serve as a sauce, being raw, is a bit strong for me.

I prefer to stir-fry them until tender, to supplement the lack of dark green leaves in winter.

Italian friends said that they make wild garlic omelet.
