there is a load of wild garlic growing near us and i was wondering if anyone had any ideas how i can use it.  It smells so good

Use the leaves in a salad, in an omlette or anywhere where garlic is used to add a slightly more subtle flavour.

[alybong]

is it just the leaves that you can use then ?

[Ice]

I've never seen anyone use the bulb.  Also, if you did you wouldn't get more next year from the plant.

[alybong]

ah yes didnt think of that lol

Leaves are yummy in a cheese sandwich

Thanks Andreadon. This sounds good

I heard it makes good soup when put in with an onion and some potato.

sometimes wrap meat in it (lamb, rabbit) before roasting  mmmmmmm

Chooped leaves good for sparking up cream cheese

Mum showed me an impressive patch in her garden today so just thought I'd resurrect this thread in case anyone else was wondering what to do with it. 

Pesto for me this weekend...

I like it cut thinly through salads or used it yesterday in my spanakopita, raw until the oven cooking stage. I would imagine its good in soups too, but I have tried it. Now there's a thought, wild garlic and nettle soup..... Hmm..

You can also eat the flowers -- lovely in salad
