(vegan, can be altered to be soya and gluten free, contains nuts)
I love the abundance spring is already bringing to us, even though it has only just begun.
Magnolia season may not last long, but I am making sure I make the most of it this year!
If you haven't read any other posts on Magnolia, it is an edible flower and has a gingery and floral taste to it. Click here to learn more about magnolia and here for a syrup recipe.
I'm usually pretty heavy on flavour, especially when ginger or garlic are involved... But this was a subtle and elegant alternative. I'm not particularly helpful with measurements when it comes to cooking dinners, but here is a basic recipe to help you experiment with some delicious wild flavours.
--------------------------------------
Ingredients:
• a good handful of wild garlic, roughly chopped
• two magnolia flowers, petals only and roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp soy sauce / coconut aminos
• 1.5 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp almond butter (or other nut)
• 1 tsp harissa
• veg to suit (we used chickpeas, and spiralised carrot)
• noodles to suit (we used angel hair pasta)
• a drizzle of sesame oil
Method:
• put noodles on to cook in their own pan
• add veg and garlic to a wok (or frying pan) on a low heat
• keep stirring until liquids have evaporated or the veg is cooked
• add the magnolia for just a few seconds
• stir in the soy, maple, almond butter and harissa and allow to thicken for ten minutes
• add the noodles and serve with a drizzle of sesame oil
--------------------------------------
I haven't added the photo of the end product, our noodles were so dense and it didn't look pretty and I'm definitely no professional food photographer...
But it really was delicious.
I would love to know if you give it a go!
Enjoy.
