herb discovery - barlauch

Guest
I made a delicious discovery here in Germany -- it's a
wonderful herb called "barlauch". It's plentiful at the
moment and the taste and aroma are just incredible -- like
garlic and leek combined in a leaf. If you see it in your
area, definitely pick some up. I've seen barlauch soup in
my area, barlauch pesto, and I've heard that it is also
sometimes used in the famous "green sauce" that is well-
known in the Frankfurt area. I found a short article about
it by a woman who made the same discovery -- she briefly
describes where it grows, how it tastes, and cooking with
it -- enjoy!

(I recommend a Google image search on barlauch for an idea
of what it looks like....) Mia

Allium ursinum

Called "ransoms" or sometimes wild garlic. Don't confuse the
leaves with those of the "lilly of the valley" unless you
want to end up very ill or dead.

Hi,

Baerlauch looks quite similar to lily of the valley, but its
smell is unmistakable (garlic).
