Yesterday I made an omelette made with nettles,wild leeks, seakale,ttwo comfrey leaves, porcini mushrooms,eggs, grated potatoe, laminaria seaweed and grated cheddar cheese. It was so I want to make another one soon. I made it in Ireland. The greens came from our garden and the seaweed from our local beach.

Hi – what a creative set of ideas.. thanks!
I have not read all the comments above. Forgive me. But I just steamed some nettles up this afternoon and there was no fishy smell. I suspect that it was the salt water that you blanched them in that brought out the fishy smell. If you steam them, there is no fishiness. ;~)

here’s to healthy eating from wild foraging.
blessings!

I have those burning pests all over my yard. I was shopping for weed killer about the same time that I developed kidney problems. As I looked for a cure, I was surprised to find that those dang stingers are one of the highest recommended herbs. Not only that but I’ve been taking them as part of a multivitamin and never even knew it. So now I’m gonna cut those fiery bastards and eat ‘em.
