Stinging nettles

(1/4) > >>

Mounter:
Any recipes? I saw on a cooking channel tonight that it's like a hipster delicacy... wish I could find away to market it....cha ching...

Pat B:
I've never tried it but it's probably better earlier in the year. The cooking eliminates the stinging properties I think. Maybe just boil or steam til tender.

Outbackbob48:
One of my favorites, I pick in the spring when nettles are just a foot high or less and just blanche or steam, all the stingy hairs must wilt or something, big tab of butter and good to go, later in year just pick the tops or new growth still tender ;D -C- Bob

Was at the Virginia Camp Dickinson knap-in and James Parker's wife cooked some nettles she picked there. They were really good and I would gladly eat them again.

mullet:
Could someone post a picture of what you're eating? I can't imagine putting what we call stinging nettles in my mouth till I see if it's the same thing y'all are eating.
