Simple Wild Garlic Oil
A quick and vibrant wild garlic oil made by blending fresh leaves with olive oil – perfect for drizzling, dressing, and adding flavour to savoury dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 oz (60 g) wild garlic leaves, washed (roughly two large handfuls, see notes)
- 5 oz (150 ml) olive oil
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- To prepare the wild garlic, wash the leaves thoroughly and dry completely (tea towel or paper towel).
- To a blender, add the wild garlic leaves, olive oil, and pinch of salt (optional). Blitz until smooth and vibrant green.
- At this point, you can either pour straight into a jar or bottle or take the extra step of straining through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a clearer oil.
- Transfer to a sealed jar or bottle, store in the fridge, and use within 3–5 days (up to a week max).🌱 Ways to use it >📸 See recipe steps >📖 Table of contents >
Notes
Safe and responsible foraging: Never eat wild food unless you're 100% sure it's safe. If you're new to foraging, it is recommended to learn from knowledgeable experts, attend courses, and refer to multiple recognised resources (books and websites).
Always forage in a public area or make sure you have the landowner's permission if on private land. When picking, only take what you need for personal consumption and never uproot the entire plant (unlawful in the UK under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981).
You can check out my guide to wild garlic if you'd like to learn more.
Store safely: Because this recipe uses fresh leaves blended with oil, there’s moisture involved. That means it should be treated as a fresh, refrigerated oil, not something to store at room temperature.
Storage time: Store in the fridge in a sealed jar or bottle and use within 3–5 days (up to a week max).
