Nettle Soup
I found this great little recipe for nettle soup so it was on with the gardening gloves and secateurs in hand on my doggy walk the other other day. Nettles by the tons grow on the meadows near us. I tried the recipe which is incredibly quick and easy to do....and it was really rather nice. I think I could have added a few more nettles maybe to get some added health benefits though.
Here's the recipe and website where I found the recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb potatoes
½ lb young nettles
2 oz butter
1½ pts chicken or vegetable stock
sea salt & black pepper
4 tablespoons sour cream
Method:
Cook the peeled, chopped potatoes for 10 mins in salted water. Drain.
Wash & chop coarsely the nettles (Only pick the new, young tops,using gloves!)
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the nettles and stew gently for a few minutes. Add the potatoes and heated stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or until tender.
When all is soft, cool slightly & purée in a blender, adding seasoning and the sour cream.
Yum yum... I think nettle wine might be in order of the day too... now where to buy those demi johns hmmm....

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
