This was so delicious, but it's very hard to find wild garlic in London which is why it's unrepeatable. I did buy a bunch at my local farmers' market, but it was eye-wateringly expensive. I am actually wondering whether spring onions (scallions) would work instead - after all, the French cook their peas with lettuce and baby onions....
1 bunch ramsons (wild garlic, bears' garlic)
Outside leaves from a Little Gem lettuce (or any floppy lettuce, really)
1 litre vegetable stock
About 100g frozen peas
2 tbs creme fraiche
A plank of Chinese noodles (or a large packet of instant noodles and discard the flavour sachet)
Boil the ramsons and lettuce in the stock for about 10-15 minutes. Blend until smooth. Add the peas and noodles and cook for a further 4-5 minutes. Stir in the creme fraiche.
If you try this with spring onions, let me know how it works! And if I do, I will update.
