Equipment
- Food processor Or stick blender.
- Fine sieve If you prefer a clear oil you can also use a muslin cloth
Ingredients
- ½ cup Extra virgin olive oil – A good quality oil will add a lovely flavor. If you prefer a more neutral oil sunflower oil /canola oil also works well
- 1 bunch Fresh wild garlic You can use the leaves and stalks
- Optional:
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Remove any roots or debris from the wild garlic. If you prefer to wash your wild garlic, you can use a salad spinner to help dry the leaves and use a clean tea towel or some kitchen paper to part the leaves dry. It’s important to remove as much water as possible.
- Roughly chop the leaves and add them to a food processor together with the oil and salt. Alternatively, add the ingredients to a suitable container and use a stick blender to blend until smooth.
- Using a fine mesh sieve or muslin cloth, remove the wild garlic puré (there is still plenty of flavor in the leftover wild garlic paste, and you can use this as a flavor enhancer for a whole host of dishes!)Add the wild garlic oil to a squeezy bottle for easy application or store it in a jar.
