Zinging nettles
Alcoholic beverages
Nettles are quite recent addition to my kitchen adventures. I finally got around to foraging for them this spring and was geuinly surprised at how delicious they are. Somewhere between the subtle sweetness of swiss chard and the iron rich twang of kale, nettles work particularly well with nutty brown rice and the citrus twang of sumac. <br />I clocked some pretty strange looks, clad in yellow rubber gloves, scrambling though the bushes in my local park but it was all worth it, they are totally delicious and apparently packed with iron and a whole alphabet of vitamins! Try to pick the younger shoots on the top of the plant. Lay them out on a tray when you get home to allow any living things to escape and give them a good soaking. The nettles not the bugs!
