Notes

* Wild garlic are those leafy greens you see in the photos. It's in season from March to June. Other names for wild garlic are ramsons, buckrams, broad-leaved garlic, wood garlic, bear leek or bear's garlic. The plant is native to Europe and Asia and might not be available in the US (check out farmer markets during the season).
If you don't have Wild Garlic you could alternatively use fresh spinach and add in a garlic clove.
