OH yeah.. there's nothing quite like it
Fresh Nettles
I know so many of my friends balk and say.. "No Way, you don't really eat that do you?"
but then there are those of you who know me well enough to know I'd eat pretty much anything without a face!
Picked with heavy duty gloves and a scissor filling a good sized bucket
Got a wee cocky with my nettle picking and ended up with one sting.. but quickly grabbed a plantain rubbing the leaf onto the sting eased the biting sensation!
Step one.. into the Vitamix go
1/4 onion, 2 Tablespoons of chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt, 2 Tablespoons of Earth Balance margarine, and all those nettle and whirrrrrrrrrrrr
Blending Blending.. first low speed then higher and higher until whir...... it's finished!
Ready to Go!
Not bad huh.. and look how bright and lovely green it is.. WITHOUT I might add any artificial coloring!
I have been eating this for a week and the children in my class today said.. "Oh Mrs Fernandes is eating that stinging nettle soup again." "Do you like eating that Mrs Fernandes?"
I told them how it has lots of vitamins and just how healthy it is and that YES I like eating it!
Bright Blessings
