Wild Garlic Porkchops & wild garlic ‘half-baked’ potatoes
Embracing the vibrant flavors of spring, our kitchen became a haven for wild garlic enthusiasts, turning a bounty of foraged greens into a feast. We crafted a meal that spotlighted the robust taste of wild garlic, seasoning pork chops generously with homemade wild garlic salt and pairing them with oven-baked potatoes topped with a dollop of wild garlic-infused butter.
Crafting Wild Garlic Salt: A Forager's Secret to Year-Round Flavor
Wild garlic salt is a simple, yet transformative way to preserve the vibrant taste of spring's foraged greens, ensuring a year-round supply of their unique flavor. By blending chopped wild garlic leaves with coarse salt until achieving a wet sand consistency, and then drying the mixture, we create a versatile culinary staple.
Wild Garlic Butter
Our homemade wild garlic butter celebrates the rustic charm of foraging, with its uneven distribution of garlic creating a visually appealing, spotted look and a delightful variance in flavor.
