I have heard of purslane but have never seen it as far as know. This is super interesting. I love the idea of utilizing wild herbs in food. I live in a big concrete city with no car so I don't get out much. It's good to know what's edible in case the food supply goes out the door. I have eaten wild dandelion salad but that's about it.
The dish is top notch. It could be a great fine dining dish for sure.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the compliment.
Yes, it is awesome to learn about all of the edible foods that grow close by, plus to know that it is essentially free. More importantly and of use is that these plants are much tougher than the things we want to grow.
Dandelions are awesome, mix some wild rocket in there and it makes the best dandelion and rocket pesto!
Yes combining dandelion with rocket sounds good. I have to wait for wild dandelion and wild rocket is not a thing in these parts but it's in packages all over. I love pesto!
It is crazy to think about how local some plants and herbs are. We sometimes think that because it is like this here, it is also like that there. I hope that you can source some of these wonderful plants!
