Tis the season for wild garlic!
I have a confession though...
I am not much of a forager myself, although I love the concept I’m always worried about poisoning myself and picking the wrong thing! So I choose to play it safe and instead let others do the foraging on my behalf.
This week I was super excited to find some wild garlic in my Abel and Cole veg box; which I’m informed was wild foraged by a wonderful man called James. Thank you James!
So I made this recipe for you, courtesy of James.
I love wild garlic because it:
Is an amazing immune booster
Has antibacterial and antimicrobial qualities
Lowers blood pressure
Reduces cholesterol
Improves blood circulation
Is a wonderful heart protector and blood purifier
Tastes delicious!
