easter in Connemara

..hey hello there,

I am for a few days here in Connemara,
weather is fantastic and the whole place around the Old Monastery Hostel is covered in Wild Garlic

a gift from mother Nature

you can use it like spinach, doing a pesto, like fresh herb in a salad or soup
or mixed with sea salt,
like in the following recipe

blend 100g wild garlic and mix it well with 100g of the sea salt, you get a quite liquid  paste than mix it with the rest of the sea salt.
Lay out a backing tray with kitchen tissue and dry the salt /wild garlic mix on it outside.
Takes about 8 hours on a sunny day. Don't dry indoor, cause it smells really strong!!

or how about Jamie Olivers wonderful wild garlic& sausage fusilli???

My summer location...

...is far more north and western than Catalonia, of amazing beauty and full of fine people.
Rough and sweet, colourful in harmony, that's Connemara.

here I get inspirations for my handcraft, relax from last years rat race,  put on a few
pounds-what seems to be especially appreciated by my love-
and try to let our guests in the Old Monastery Hostel experience an unique stay..

Summertime in Connemara
