A trio of delicious wild garlic recipes.

A fresh and lemony chickpea and wild garlic stew. Fluffy flatbread infused with wild garlic and then gorgeous pesto, which can be dolloped both into the stew and onto the flatbread.

These recipes are all fantastic on their own, but work even better together.

I picked the wild garlic locally. What an absolute treat! Isn’t it wonderful what beautiful bounty which can be found growing plentifully at this time of year?

I hope you love these super tasty recipes. Let me know what you think?

Much love, Niki xx
