Date: August 29, 2006 12:33PM Hi all,
I was collecting nettles today, and am now wondering how to prepare them RAW. I used to make cooked nettle soup, which was delicious, but now I don't want to cook them anymore. The cooking made them eadible, though, because they were not 'burning' anymore. I was wondering if preparing them like spinach (like in Jen Rose's spinach dip), cutting them very fine, would take away the burning. Does anyone has any experience or recipes? greatly appreciated! Thanks Sabine Re: nettle recipes?

Blending or juicing nettles takes away the sting. I have made soup in a blender with nettles, soaked almonds, water and probably some other stuf which I can't remember... Nettle and celery juice works well. Rob -- Rob Hull - Funky Raw My blog: [www.rawrob.com] Re: nettle recipes?

Thanks. carolg Nettle salad

Date: March 21, 2007 09:20AM Nettle is easy to be eaten raw if first it has been washed thoroughly, cut in small piees and smashed by hand with some sea salt for just a bit. After that to this mixture I like to add green onions, lemon juice, some olive oil and top with walnuts. Re: nettle recipes?

Date: March 23, 2007 03:14AM In order to make the nettle sun tea you just use the leaves as you would any other plant for tea, put them in a glass jar with water and whatever else you like for flavor, let it sit the sun (or moon for lunar tea) all day (or night) and strain out the plant matter after the water has changed color (and looks like tea). Enjoy warm right out of the sun, or chilled. Re: nettle recipes?
