We know spring has arrived here in Devon, because the green lanes and woodland are currently bursting with wild garlic leaves – you can smell it from quite a distance! Handily, this unique smell makes Wild Garlic (also known as Ramsons) one of the easiest and safest wild foods to forage, as it’s pretty unmistakeable. Seek out a Wild Garlic colony that’s growing above dog-level and away from busy roads or footpaths, and pick only one or two leaves from each plant to minimise damage. The beautiful starry white flowers and buds make a pretty garnish, though again, be sparing if you pick them. Recipe serves 4, generously.
