How to use wild garlic

You can use it for pesto, salad, cream soups, and dry it as a spice, it depends entirely on you. Bear garlic can be consumed both fresh and cooked.

TIP: Since it is a fresh herb, when cooked try not to let it boil unnecessarily long, to preserve its fresh garlic scent and beautiful green color.

Recipe for an amazing Risotto with wild bear garlic:

Raw materials- 2 servings

Bear garlic risotto
Yummy wild garlic risotto

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 shallot or small onion
100 ml of white wine
250 g risotto rice (arborio, carnaroli, or at least short-grain rice)
about 750 ml of hot vegetable or chicken broth
100 g bear garlic
200 g young peeled peas (frozen)
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon butter

Method:

In a larger pan, simmer the finely chopped onion in warm oil to soften it – but do not let it brown.

Add the rice and partially stir fry with a wooden spoon. Once there is a risk of burns, cover with wine and stir until everything evaporates and soaks into the rice.

Add one large scoop of hot broth and continue to stir in a strong flame until liquid is visible in the pan. Then pour in another scoop and continue until you have consumed the broth and the rice softens to a bite, it takes about fifteen minutes. If you consume all the broth and the rice is still not soft enough, you can then add a little hot water.

Wash the wild garlic under running water, cut several times, and add to the almost finished risotto. Stir and let the leaves heat and soften for a while.

Finally, stir in the butter, two tablespoons of parmesan cheese, and thawed peas. Season with salt and pepper.

Let the finished risotto stand outside the hot plate for one to two minutes, then divide between plates and sprinkle with the remaining parmesan cheese.
