Here’s a simple little recipe to try with your Ramsons and a few bits and pieces from the fridge. It’s a great starting place if you’re not used to cooking with foraged food. Ramsons are a great source of Vitamin C and iron, and their pungent garlic smell makes them really easy to identify in the wild. They’re ideal for teaching children about foraging, and are very versatile in savoury food. You can also use them in sandwiches and salads – anything you would use salad, basil or other greens for.

For this Omelette you’ll need as much of each ingredient as you think each person would eat:
Ingredients
- Mushrooms
- Onion
- Ramsons
- Eggs, 2 per person
- Salt and Pepper to season
- Cheese to taste
- Tomato and any other vegetables (optional)
- Chop the mushrooms and onion roughly and fry until tender.
Instructions
- Add the chopped Ramsons and cook for another minute or two, till they are wilted.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs till they are frothy. Lower the heat a little and pour directly into the pan. This will make the omelette light and fluffy.
- Add a little grated cheese and salt and pepper, and cover with a lid until the egg is cooked on top.
- Cut into as many pieces as you need and transfer carefully on to plates.
- Add a couple of Ramson flowers for decoration and enjoy with toast.
