Garlic mustard and Goats Cheese Parcels
- Rose says “I have to give the credit for this idea to Karen, the chef at Edinburgh Larder. I went on a foraging walk organised by the Larder (and run by Plants with Purpose which I would wholly recommend) and after tasting my first Garlic Mustard leaf, I was rabbiting on about taking some home to cook with and how well it would go with cheese when Karen said that you can use the leaves like the Greeks use vine leaves to make dolmades. Well that settled it.”
To make this you dont really need a recipe but you will need a decent sized disc of goats cheese (about an inch thick) and one or two Garlic Mustard leaves per person plus some melted butter. Ideally you want the largest leaves possible so that you can wrap the goats cheese with one leaf, otherwise use a couple and secure with a tooth pick if necessary. Once wrapped, place the parcels on a buttered baking tray or dish and brush liberally with more melted butter. Bake in a 180 degree oven for 10-15min until the cheese is soft and the leaves are crispy. Serve on toasted bread or a rocket salad (or even better a salad of wild greens collected with the Garlic Mustard!).
Taken from Rose’s Blog;
I am by no means a professional chef and I probably produce as many culinary mistakes as successes but every now and then I do manage to produce something edible, according to my soon to be husband anyway, and I think these discoveries are worth sharing with anyone who can be bothered to listen.
