Stinging, invasive, unattractive…nettles have a bad reputation. Must say she hides her assets well…
Corentin Sauvaget, nature animator, reveals for GILO the properties of this wild plant in the kitchen.
We offer a recipe to make in spring with nettle shoots, when they are tender and rich in vitamins.
recipe
- On each nettle plant, it is advisable to pick the top four leaves with gloves. Raw and cut, nettles cannot be stored, so they must be cooked immediately after harvesting.
- Mix eggs and sugar
- In another container, mix flour and baking powder
- Add the melted butter to the bowl with the eggs and sugar, then the flour and baking powder (and chocolate chips).
- Mix everything well before stirring the nettle
- Grease a baking sheet with butter or cover it with a silicone sheet or a baking sheet
- Make several small mounds of the mixture and place in the oven
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 180°C (thermostat 6). They should be removed as soon as the contours begin to turn brown.
And of course, after cooking, the nettle no longer sneers.
Enjoy your lunch!
