Wild Garlic smiling at me


The other day, when Sofie, Wendy and myself went to Mizen Head, we were also on the lookout for some wild garlic (okay I was). And of course, it is in abundance in West Cork so I grabbed a few bundles. As I didn't want to use it all in one go, I pureed the leaves, jarred the mousse and topped it with olive oil. The rest I used in the best risotto ever. Peas, broad beans and wild garlic go so well together - and the flowers made the dish look also very pretty - a glass of prosecco made this dinner to an event....

By the way, so far the wild garlic puree is doing fine. I have used it in homemade cheese (yum) and on bruschetta.....
