Hi,
In coastal areas of Croatia people eat wild onion - ALLIUM AMPELOPRASUM (the
leaves are like garlic leaves, not like onion)
cooked together with 4 others "wild" plants: LACTUCA PERENNIS / PORTULACA
OLERACEA, FOENICULUM VULGARE (Fennel), SONCHUS OLERACEUS and BETA MARITIMA.
Add some salt and olive oil - simple and delicious.
