Frequently Asked Questions About Wild Garlic Paste
How do you use Wild Garlic Paste?
Wild Garlic Paste works well stirred into pasta, soups, and sauces, or spread thinly on bread and sandwiches. You can also mix it into yogurt for a dip or spoon a little over roasted vegetables just before serving.
What is Wild Garlic Paste made of?
Wild Garlic Paste is usually made by blending wild garlic leaves with oil and salt. Recipes may also include lemon, nuts, or cheese, so check the ingredient list if you need to know exactly what is in a particular jar.
What does Wild Garlic Paste taste like?
Wild Garlic Paste tastes garlicky, fresh, and leafy, often with a milder, greener character than raw garlic cloves. Its exact flavour changes with the amount of oil, salt, lemon, or nuts used in the recipe.
How do you make Wild Garlic Paste at home?
To make Wild Garlic Paste, blend washed and thoroughly dried wild garlic leaves with oil and salt until smooth. Add the oil gradually to control the texture, and include lemon juice or nuts if you want a brighter or richer version.
Is Wild Garlic Paste the same as pesto?
No, Wild Garlic Paste is not necessarily pesto. It centres on wild garlic leaves and may contain only oil and salt, while pesto typically combines herbs with nuts, cheese, and oil; some recipes use wild garlic to make a pesto-style sauce.
How should you store Wild Garlic Paste after opening?
Keep opened Wild Garlic Paste in a clean, sealed container in the refrigerator, and always scoop it out with a clean utensil. Do not leave homemade oil-based paste at room temperature, and discard it if you notice spoilage.
Can you freeze Wild Garlic Paste?
Yes, Wild Garlic Paste freezes well. Freeze it in small airtight portions or an ice-cube tray so you can thaw only what you need; once thawed, use it promptly and do not refreeze it.
Can you cook with Wild Garlic Paste?
Yes, you can cook with Wild Garlic Paste, but prolonged heating can dull its fresh, leafy aroma. For a brighter flavour, stir it into hot pasta or soup after taking the dish off the heat.
Can Wild Garlic Paste replace fresh garlic?
Yes, Wild Garlic Paste can replace fresh garlic in some recipes, but it brings a greener, leafy flavour rather than the sharper taste of a garlic clove. If the paste contains oil or salt, adjust those ingredients in the recipe.
Can you eat Wild Garlic Paste raw?
Yes, Wild Garlic Paste can be eaten raw, for example spread on bread or stirred into a cold dip. If making it from foraged leaves, use only plants you can identify with certainty, since poisonous leaves can resemble wild garlic.

What is Wild Garlic Paste?
Wild garlic paste is made by crushing or blending the leaves of wild garlic, a spring-growing woodland herb used in parts of Europe and Asia. Recipes may combine the leaves with oil and seasonings. Its aroma recalls garlic, but the flavour is usually greener and more herbaceous than that of a clove-based paste.
Spread a little on toast, stir it through pasta or soup, or serve it alongside grilled vegetables and other dishes where a fresh, garlicky note fits. It also works as a dip mixed with yogurt. At 41 calories per 100 g, it is a flavourful, relatively light condiment; start with a small amount, as its aromatic taste can quickly take over a dish.
