Capturing the taste of spring with wild garlic butter is a great way to celebrate the changing of the seasons and incorporate fresh, seasonal ingredients into your cooking. Spring is a time of renewal, growth, and vibrancy, and wild garlic captures these qualities perfectly.
Wild garlic has a unique and pungent flavour that is similar to garlic but with a milder and slightly sweeter taste. By making wild garlic butter, you can incorporate this delicious flavour into a variety of dishes, adding a burst of freshness and depth of flavour that is perfect for the springtime.
Wild garlic butter is a delicious and easy-to-make addition to any dish, and can be used in a variety of ways, such as to spread on bread, as a topping for grilled meats, or as a flavouring for vegetables. Here's a simple recipe to make wild garlic butter:
