Wild Garlic Omelette: tea in hand

Wild Garlic must be one of the best thing nature has to offer from her wonderful wild larder. After getting back from picking a nice bag full, with my mate Eoin I was putting the chickens in for the night when I had one them great ideas for a recipe, so I was straight in to the kitchen to rustle up a nice light wild garlic omelette for dinner.

Ingredients:

Large handful of fresh chopped wild garlic leaves

7-8 mushrooms

½ a leek (white end)

2 eggs

Salt and pepper

Method:

Finely chop the mushrooms and leek

And fry in butter for 4-5 mins until tender

Add garlic leaves and fry for a minute
