pie-eater 377 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Picked the first wild garlic of the season a couple of hours ago, cut it up nice and fine mixed it with minced beef and made a couple of burgers. What do you do with yours? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mole trapper 1,693 Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 Funny enough stepped on the first bit of the year yesterday and thought, aah, spring is on its way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Does it keep for long? Thanks Here you go; 1 large handful of Garlic leaves. 50g Parmesan or any other hard cheese. 50g of pine nuts or walnut, pumpkin seeds. 100ml approx of olive oil. salt, pepper, lemon juice to your taste. Wizz up the cheese in a processor first, add your nuts and garlic leaves. when they are well chopped start to drizzle the oil in until you get the right consistency. add salt and pepper and a little lemon juice if you like. it tastes quite strong at the first tasting but does mellow over time and when used in cooking. When you are happy with the taste put in a clean jar and drizzle a little oil on the surface to keep it fresh. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
