Wow!
My first post...
I've been planning this blog since i came over to England when all my colleagues started to mention my "incredibe cooking skills", that's exactly 10 moths ago!
And now i'm finally writing on my first post in my first blog ever :)
At the charity i'm working at in the moment all the wild garlic is flowering now (due to the late spring season this year).
When you walk through the garden,
you get this intense smell of garlic in your nose and if you're a garlic lover, as i am, that's just beautiful.
This is the backside of the house where the charity i'm volunteering for is in, by the way.
It's a ~650 years old farm house, with a garden as big as ~ 4 football fields ans absolutely adorable!
But back to topic... I was wondering what to do with all this masses of wild garlic, and i decided to make something durable, and you shouldn' dry wild garlic and it looses to much of it's lovely flavour while freezing.
Well, and the outcome is this wild garlic pesto!
Personally I enjoy it most on a nice rye or sourdough bread, topped with a bit of yogurth.
But i already tried it in several more dishes, what i'm going to show you in one of my next posts. :)
But, ATTENTION, when picking wild garlic, always check every single leave to make 100% sure you're actually picking wild garlic and not lily of the valley.
The right and shiny one is a lily of the valley leave, while the matt one, with the strong garlic smell is a leave of the wild garlic plant!
