The wild garlic season only lasts from early March to the end of April, making it a very short one. With this aromatic, green herb oil, you can capture the flavor of wild garlic and enjoy it well beyond the wild garlic season.

Making your own spiced oils

As you can see from this recipe, it’s not difficult to make your own spiced oils. For example, you can soak spices like dried chilies in oil for a while, and you’ll have a great homemade flavored oil.

Making your own spiced oils is definitely worth it. Here are a few reasons why:

  • You save a lot of money. Buying a ready-made flavoured oil is much, much more expensive.
  • Your imagination is unlimited. You can experiment with all sorts of flavours.
  • Many things are simply unavailable for purchase. For example, oils made from wild herbs, like this oil with wild garlic.
  • The oils are always nice and fresh.
  • You can use high-quality, good oil as a base. With store-bought flavoured oils, you can assume that a low-quality, not very healthy oil was used.

Ingredients for approximately 400 ml of homemade green wild garlic oil:

5 handfuls of wild garlic
400 ml sunflower seed oil or rapeseed oil

A bowl with ice cubes

Preparation:

  1. Roughly chop the fresh wild garlic and place it in a food processor.
  2. Ideally, heat the oil to 60°C (140°F). Do not exceed 70°C (160°F).
  3. Pour the warm oil into the food processor and thoroughly chop the wild garlic in it.
  4. Then strain the fresh, green herb oil through a cheesecloth and collect it in a bowl.
  5. Immediately cool this bowl on the prepared ice cubes. To do this, simply place the bowl with the strained oil into the bowl with the ice cubes. This will preserve the green color of the wild garlic.
  6. Store the oil in a cool, dark place. It will gradually lose its color and some of its fresh herbal aroma, so it should be used within a few months.

Enjoy your meal! Have fun refining with this delicious herb oil!
