Wild garlic season is much anticipated in the UK as it signals the beginning of spring and all the beautiful produce that comes with it. In this recipe we’re going to make a wild garlic butter that goes perfectly with the sweet mussels and gets soaked up by the flatbread as it cooks.
Method
Make sure your peel is clean and dry and your pizza oven is heated to around 400 degrees.
Heat your pizza oven to 400 degrees and place a skillet inside to pre-heat.
Soften your butter at room temperature, finely dice your shallot and roughly chop your wild garlic (reserving a few smaller leaves for garnish), beat everything together in a mixing bowl until fully combined and season with a pinch of sea salt.
Place your mussels and wine in a bowl and pour into your pre-heated skillet, pop it back into your pizza oven to steam the mussels open. Once they have all popped open, remove and drain these through a colander.Pick your mussels whilst still warm and place in a bowl with a splash of the cooking liquor and a generous spoonful of the wild garlic butter, fold together gently until combined and set to one side.
Lightly dust your dough with fine semolina, ensure your peel is dry and clean and finely dust this too. Stretch your dough out over your peel and lightly ‘crimp’ the edges with your fingers by slightly indenting around the edge of the dough to form your ‘crust’.
Bake in the pizza oven until slightly crisped and puffed but remove before it is fully cooked, spoon over your mussel/wild garlic butter mixture and return the flatbread to the oven to melt the butter and finish cooking the flatbread. Garnish with a few leaves of wild garlic.
