See the bumper crop of wild garlic/onions Connie picked from our yard?  That's only a small fraction of the wild stuff  growing wild around our place.  Once again, we made bottles of Chef Daniel Orr's wild garlic vinegar.  That stuff is seriously good!  My friend Eliot from Eliot's Eats has been enjoying a bumper crop of wild garlic/onions too.  Look at all of these yummies!  Pickled wild onions with honey and rosemary.  Tempura fried wild onions with romesco sauce.  Wild onion baked omelet.  I'm not sure where to start with these but am thinking the pickled wild onions may be the first step.

Wild Garlic Vinegar



Ingredients:

1 qt white vinegar

1/4 c sugar

2 t salt

15 black peppercorns

2 bay leaves

1 tsp red pepper flakes

10 wild garlic plants, washed





Directions:
Stuff a sanitized bottle with the wild garlic/onions and the seasonings.

Boil the vinegar, sugar and salt. When it's cooled a bit, add it to the other ingredients. You'll want to use a sanitized stoppered bottle. Make sure you use the stems and bulbs of the garlic and cover all the ingredients with vinegar. I used a bit less vinegar but the same amount of seasonings.
