Wild Garlic infused Oil!

Wil Garlic season is here… so what better way to celebrate than with a recipe!

This Wild Garlic infused Oak Smoked Oil was sent to us by one of our customers, Archie (click here for his Instagram account), and it’s a great way to add a kick of Spring to your cooking!

To make it, all you will need is:

• A good handful of Wild Garlic
• A glug of our Oak Smoked Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil 

The method is really very simple…

1. Blanche your wild garlic leaves for no more than a minute in boiling water
2. Drain and squeeze out any excess water
3. Roughly chop
4. Blend the wild garlic in a food processor with equal parts Oak Smoked Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil
5. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve
6. Voila!

Here are some key foraging guidelines:

• Always seek permission before foraging. In certain areas, plant species will be protected so it is important to do some research and check with the landowner before you start gathering.
• Only pick from areas that have a plentiful supply and only collect a small amount for personal use.
• Leave enough for wildlife and avoid damaging habitats
• Never pick protected species or cause permanent damage. Britain’s wild plants are all protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981), which makes it illegal to dig up or remove a plant.
