Anyone ever used wild garlic in their cooking. Lots growing in the woods close to me. Saw it used on the James Martin cookery prog. Any recommendations?

It's fantastic stuff ... but quite a mild flavour.
I've used it to wrap monkfish in and then roasted in the oven. I'd suggest you improvise ... just give it a go.Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac0 -
It can aso be used in any recipe where you would use chives as it has quite a mild flavour.Organised people are just too lazy to look for things

Down boy!!!
Is it used just to impart a galic flavour or can you eat theleaves as well?
I think the recipe I saw used it to sit a piece of fish on and then steam it. I'll pick some today and have a go.Humans only use around forty percent of their brains capacity. Imagine what we could achieve if we used the other seventy percent!0 -
You ca n eat the leaves. I just got back from a field trip with my uni, and the leader stopped the minibus to pick some wild garlic for us all to taste at one point, by eating the leaves.0

garden garlic? Not sure what you mean. It doesn't look the same as culinary garlic.

Wild Garlic is Allium Ursinium. Culinary garlic is a form of Allium SativumWarning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac0 -
If you are getting the wild garlic from the woods, just make sure it isn't on the dog-walkers' route...........
I use wild garlic (well - the green tops) as if they were chives. I planted a few in the garden, and now I could supply the whole neighbourhood
