Now almost everyone has a favorite place - the dacha, where you want to rush off for the weekend. But few people thought about the fact that you can cook delicious dishes from what grows under your feet in your country house.
In order to cook dinner in the summer from what grows in the summer cottage, it is not at all necessary to work on the beds from early spring - it will be enough for what itself has grown underfoot. The main thing is to first make sure that the plants have not been exposed to harmful influences.
Nettle soup
Perhaps nettle is the most popular weed in cooking. There are many recipes for soups from it, here is the simplest: you should start cooking vegetarian borscht, but at the stage when you need to add beets and cabbage to the pan, you need to replace them with nettles. An important nuance - the nettle must be young, that is, it is worth cooking nettle soups at the very beginning of summer.
Dream cutlets
Gardeners hate this plant: it grows very quickly and weeding it is a complete torment. But instead of cursing the weed, it's better to put it on cutlets. Chop finely, add eggs, garlic, a little flour, spices, form small cutlets and fry them in a frying pan. Serve with sour cream.
Dandelion salad
Young dandelion leaves need to be finely chopped, mixed with green onions, add parsley, salt, pepper, vinegar and vegetable oil. Done! You can decorate the salad with the flowers of the same dandelion. If the specific bitterness of the leaves is not to your taste, you can hold them in cold water for a while before cooking.
And this is not a complete list - you can also cook from plantain, quinoa, clover and even burdocks. Why not make “weed cooking” your trademark?
