This is so tasty – truly delicious and worth the effort! We use roasted red peppers and shredded oyster mushrooms for a great texture – this makes a wonderful spring or summer dish. If you can’t find wild garlic, you can replace it with finely diced spring onions.

Add the olive oil and, once hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until it starts to brown around the edges.Add the shredded mushrooms and rosemary to the pan, cooking for another 4 minutes.
