Food Foraging without going to the forest.

Dreaming of food foraging at the wild forest.

Reality is just a city slicker is who i am.

My forest is Ballard Farmers Market.

Today, I purchased a bag of Stinging Nettle and Wood Sorrel - Hello from spring.

I am not sure how to describe stinging nettle's flavor (maybe It does not have a distinctive flavor)but wood sorrel is just like very tart green apple + dash of lemon juice. I love it.

Bringing a whole forest into my dining table is a piece of cake.
 Just boiling, chopping and stirring... stirring ....

Voila~
Nettle Risotto.


with crispy Quicy.




Another good day. 
Nettle omelette is tomorrow's breakfast. ^^
