Many Clear Books users are business owners, and whether you\u2019re working by yourself from home or as part of a team in an office, time can be tight when it comes to having a lunch break.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why each month we\u2019re posting a recipe for a quick, time-saving lunch from a member of the Clear Books team, so you can still have a tasty and nutritious lunch.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s recipe is a seasonal one that you can\u2019t fail to love (unless you hate garlic of course).While the initial steps might be time-consuming, once it\u2019s done you\u2019ll have the ingredients for a really quick, simple lunch for the next few weeks (or up to a year if you put it in the freezer) .<\/p>\n

We\u2019re slightly early as April marks the beginning of \u2018wild garlic<\/a> season’, where for a limited time only (until approximately June) you can find this flavoursome plant growing in dark woods across the UK.<\/p>\n

It can be tricky to find, especially in urban areas, but it\u2019s more than worth the trouble. The other barrier is that once people find it, they\u2019re reluctant to divulge its location to other garlic seekers.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re one of the lucky finders, here\u2019s a recipe for delicious wild garlic pesto.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not so lucky, or prefer a quicker solution, simply substitute the wild garlic leaves for standard basil and garlic.<\/p>\n

Warning: <\/strong>wild garlic looks very similar to poisonous plants such as lily of the valley and autumn crocus. However, neither of these have the distinct garlic smell so it\u2019s easy to spot imposters.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it smells very garlicky, so if you\u2019re eating it at the office hide in a meeting room, or make enough for your colleagues so you\u2019re all in an oblivious garlic fug together.<\/p>\n
