In Hungary, wild garlic is the number one sign that spring has arrived. Some areas in the woods near my hometown turn crazy green, and wild garlic starts to pop up at food markets. So time is up for my winter blues, finally.
One thing I would often do when I don’t quite feel like myself is baking, and these wild garlic rolls are actually perfect for this purpose. They are super-easy to make and taste absolutely divine and comforting. Wild garlic is extremely healthy (although it’s probably more healthy when eaten raw), but if you can’t find it, you can substitute with a bunch of basil, or any other soft-leaf herb really. Give it a try, and enjoy spring!
Inspiration for the recipe comes from Limara, the Hungarian queen of home baking.
