Wild garlic will shortly be coming to an end in Scotland so gather what you can when you’re out and about while it’s still here and put it to good use it in this one-pot dish, which is super quick and easy to make.
2 servings
Ingredients
2 x chicken breasts – cut into 4 pieces
1 x onion, sliced
100ml Madeira wine
Handful of picked wild garlic
1 x lemon – juice & zest
200ml double cream
Potato gnocchi – pre-cooked
Salt
Cracked black pepper
Cooking oil
Method
To begin, take a large frying pan with a small amount of oil and warm on a medium to high heat.
Season the chicken with a small amount of salt and sear in the pan on each side until golden brown.
Add the sliced onions and continue to cook until they are soft.
Add the Madeira wine and reduce this down until a glaze is left on the bottom of the pan. (You can use white wine also if Madeira unavailable.)
Next add the gnocchi, followed by the cream, wild garlic and lemon juice. Cook on a medium-low heat for around five to 10 minutes.
Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly and serve with cracked black pepper and the fresh lemon zest scattered over.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
