  • 1 Handful each of dill, tarragon and parsley
  • 2 Handfuls of breadcrumbs

Method

  1. Dunk the wild garlic into boiling water for 10 seconds then straight into ice water. This gives it a more vibrant colour.
  2. Drain and squeeze out excess water, place wild garlic and oil into a liquidiser and blitz for a minute. Or strain the liquid through a fine sieve or chinois then return oil to bottle save the pulp for another recipe.
  3. For a fish crust add a hand full of each dill, tarragon and parsley chopped with left over wild garlic pulp garlic then mix in a couple of handful of breadcrumbs and store until needed.

To use this crust in a lamb dish the dill and tarragon can be swapped for mint, rosemary and thyme.
