Asparagus, Egg and Wild Garlic Crumb
I don’t know what’s going on with this weather, but I’ve created a lovely seasonal recipe with foraged wild garlic from a recent trip to Wales. You don’t have to go to Wales to find wild garlic. They tend to grow near riverbanks, so keep a look out if you happen to walkabout in these areas. You can usually smell it a mile off too. You can read more about wild garlic here. This Asparagus, Egg and Wild Garlic Crumb recipe will add a ‘Spring’ to your step.
