Wild garlic is one of the plants I usually forage mid-spring around May. Wild garlic grows in deciduous woodlands with moist soils. What I usually forage is wild garlic leaves, and I've never eaten wild garlic bulbs and flowers. Garlic leaves can be used in raw salads and they carry a very subtle garlicky flavour similar to that of garlic chives. When cooked, the flavour of the leaves becomes softer and sweeter. Wild garlic leaves are usually used in salads, herbs, garlic butter, sauce/pesto, and boiled as a vegetable in soup. The use of wild garlic leaves is similar to spinach. Please use it with various other dishes such as in the use of spinach
In this video, there are 2 types of wild garlic dishes that I made:
