Dhs Stinging Nettle Saute Recipes

Steps:

• Steam the nettle in a large pot for about 4-5 minutes. Save the liquid for soup or stews, or drink it, it's very nutritious.
• Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick fry pan and saute the onion and garlic on medium low. Don't scorch the garlic, that will alter the flavour.
• When the onion is transparent add the lime juice and stir, turn down low.
• Add the steamed nettle and grate the nutmeg over top.
• Add the salt and pepper and taste your dish. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Remove from fry pan onto a nice serving dish and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
• I served mine with the garlic toast.

Steps:

• Toast walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
• Wearing dish gloves or disposable gloves, rinse nettles under running water to remove any dust or dirt. Cut off all the thick main stems.
• Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan. Drop nettles into the boiling water and cook, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water, then drain again. Squeeze nettles gently to remove some of the excess water; they can be a little bit wet. Transfer nettles to a cutting board and chop.
• Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet. Add garlic and cook until fragrant and translucent, without browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Add chopped nettles and cook, stirring, until heated through. Drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and mix in remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
• Toss with pasta and serve with grated Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Pick the nettles using gloves.
• Remove the stems and blanche the leaves in boiling salted water for one minute.
• Drain and rough chop.
• Cook the pasta.
• Heat the cream in a large saute pan. Once it simmers add the nettles and reduce the misture by half.
• Drain your pasta and put into a big dish and add the Nettle Cream sauce. Add grated nutmeg, cheese and seasonings. Give it a toss and serve hot.
• Bon Appetit!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil with 2 teaspoons of salt. Drop in the stinging nettles, and cook 1 to 2 minutes until they soften. This will remove most of the sting. Drain in a colander, and rinse with cold water. Trim off any tough stems, then chop coarsely.
• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat, and stir in the onion. Cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the rice, chicken broth, and chopped nettles. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Puree the soup with an immersion blender, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
