My favourite park is abundant in wild garlic at the moment and I used my outdoor exercise allowance yesterday to take Dolly out on a walk and collect some.
I also had some swiss chard from last weeks veg box delivery so came up with this very easy and oh so delicious wild garlic, swiss chard and lemon cream linguine recipe!
Serves 2
Ingredients
I bunch swiss chard
1 small bunch wild garlic (about 10 leaves)
1 small onion, chopped
1 carton vegan unsweetened cream (I actually only had Alpro in the fridge which is slightly sweetened although it was fine because the lemon took away the sweet taste)
Juice from 1 lemon (3 tbsps lemon juice)
1/2 pack linguine
1 tbsp vegan spread/butter
Salt
Pepper
Method
Put water on to boil in a large pan for the linguine (you could use an alternative pasta)
Remove the stalks from the swiss chard and chop them in to small pieces like the onion.
Chop swiss chard leaves and wild garlic.
Place linguine in the pan of boiling water foe about 15 mins or until cooked.
Melt the vegan spread in a pan.




Serve
Remember, when foraging, only take what you need, pick from different spots and leave enough for others and for wildlife.
