Mmmmmmm - Nettles

Tonight we had nettles for tea...





..actually, they were ok. But a bit soggy. I suspect I overcooked them. Will try steaming them next time.

What did they taste like Rich? Look a bit like spinach. I bet they would be nice in a quiche with lots of cheese.

What kind of nettles are those? We have stinging nettles here (really nasty when you accidentally run through a thicket wearing shorts!). I've heard you can eat nettles but I want to know what they taste like too!

yup. Ordinary garden stinging nettles. cooking removes the stings. Taste a bit like spinache. Had them in a rissotto last nigh. They are very high in iron & meant to be very good for you. But mainly they are free.
