This might sound a little strange if it is something that you have never come across before — it certainly blew my mum’s mind when I told her I was cooking it.
Recipes
Rolled chicken, mash & wild garlic
Cooks in 1 1/2 Hours Difficulty MediumWonderful, whole, slow-reared chicken, deboned, and stuffed with that most evocative of spring ingredients; wild garlic (along with some minced chicken thigh and smoked lardo).
This will give your roast chicken a simple yet creative twist. Serve with buttery mashed potato and a classic chicken gravy. Wilt wild garlic leaves through the gravy just before serving. Deliciously lazy!
