Wild Garlic Butter (Easy Vegan Recipe)
This simple wild garlic butter is quick, versatile, and ridiculously good on just about anything.
Ingredients
- 3½ oz (100 g) vegan butter or margarine (softened)
- 1 oz (30 g) wild garlic leaves, washed (roughly a large handful, see notes)
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice (optional)
- Salt and pepper (optional)
Instructions
- To prepare the wild garlic, wash the leaves thoroughly, dry completely (tea towel or paper towel), and finely chop. The finer the chop, the greener the butter will be.
- To a bowl, add the softened butter or margarine, chopped wild garlic, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Use a fork to mix everything well until evenly combined.
- Spoon the mix onto greaseproof paper and roll into a log, twisting the ends to create a tight cylinder shape. You could also simply transfer to a container.
- Refrigerate or freeze ready for use in a savoury recipe that calls for butter (wild garlic bread is a great shout).🌱 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).

Gluten-free: This recipe is 100% gluten-free as written.
