Food

A place to share what you're cooking and eating on Farcaster.

I appreciate all seasons, but one of the reasons I love spring is because it's the start of the free food cycle which culminates in autumn and turns bearish in winter 🤭

My favourite early herbs to forage are stinging nettle and ground elder - they can be cooked similarly to spinach. 

I'll share the dishes I've made with them in the replies, and this is the general prep:

1. Gather young tender leaves
2. Remove the stems
3. Pour boiling water and let them soak for a minute (check for any debris)
4. Strain the leaves and squeeze out the remaining moisture 
5. Chop them up

The last photo is a pie filling I made with stinging nettle, eggs, cottage cheese and fried onion 🥟
