Dhs Stinging Nettle Saute Recipes

DH'S STINGING NETTLE SAUTE

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.
• Bon Appetit!
