That's yesterday's wild garlic harvest processed... soaked for a bit, rinsed twice, lightly spun, chopped roughly, and spun harder... after that we got 352 grammes of slightly damp leaf, plus a few flower buds. We split the leaf 50/50 and did one 176g of leaves with 250g of salted butter, and the other 176g of leaf with 200g of local extra-virgin-rapeseed-oil. Now in an ice-cube tray to freeze.

Mostly we like to use this in a simple pasta, just melt one or two "cubes" into the pasta and add a bit of black pepper and some fresh parsley or basil. But a buttery one is also excellent melted on top of a grilled steak.

The wild garlic flower buds have been put into a small bottle of white wine vinegar.
