Wild Garlic & Walnut Crust (for Fish, Lamb, Chicken or Mushroom)

This Wild Garlic & Walnut Crust is so versatile, turning a plain piece of fish, lamb, chicken or even a Portabello mushroom into something very, very special.

I can’t get enough of wild garlic this year and trying out new ways to cook it has become a bit of an obsession!

So far, I’ve tried this Wild Garlic & Walnut Crust baked on salmon fillets and grilled on lamb chops, but why not try it perched on a chicken breast, stuffed & baked in a large field mushroom or thickly spread under a layer of melted cheese on toast?

If you come up with any other glorious ways to use it, please leave a comment below so I can try it out!
