Stinging Nettle Dukkah Dukkah is a versatile Egyptian condiment traditionally made with nuts, seeds, and spices, offering a deliciously crunchy and flavorful topping for a variety of dishes. Here's a twist on the classic recipe by incorporating freeze-dried nettles for an extra nutritional boost and a unique flavor profile. Use fresh spices for optimal flavor. Ingredients: 1/2 cup hazelnuts, lightly toasted 1/4 cup sesame seeds 2 tablespoons coriander seeds 2 tablespoons freeze-dried nettle powder 1 tablespoon cumin seeds 1 tablespoon of fennel seeds 1/2 teaspoon flaky sea salt (adjust to taste) Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes for a spicy kick Instructions: 1. Toast the Seeds: In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and fennel seeds until they become fragrant and slightly golden, stirring constantly to prevent burning. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. 2. Process the Nuts and Seeds: Once cooled, add the toasted nuts and seeds, along with the freeze-dried nettles, to a food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture is coarsely ground. You're aiming for a textured blend, not a fine powder. 3. Season: Transfer the mixture to a bowl. Stir in the flaky sea salt and optional chili flakes, mixing well to ensure an even distribution of flavors. 4. Store or Serve: Your nettle-infused dukkah is now ready to enjoy! It can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container for up to a month. Serving Suggestions: Sprinkle over avocado toast Sprinkle over hummus Toss over roasted vegetables Serve with olive oil and crusty bread #DukkahRecipe #NettleDukkah #EgyptianCuisine #HealthyEating #SpiceBlend #HomeCooking #VegetarianFood #NutritionBoost #Recipe #Nettles #EclecticHerb
Spring invites us to transform our outdoor spaces into realms of beauty and purpose. Whether it's a balcony or backyard, themed gardens offer unique benefits—from enhancing your diet to supporting wildlife. Each garden idea is a step towards connecting with nature, promoting biodiversity, and discovering the joys of gardening. Let's cultivate our little patches of earth into sources of delight and discovery. Herb Tea Garden: Perfect for tea lovers, dedicate a section of your garden to grow your own tea herbs. Include a variety of mints (such as peppermint and spearmint), chamomile for its calming effects, lavender for a soothing floral note, and lemon balm for a hint of citrus. These herbs not only make delicious teas but also attract beneficial insects to your garden. Medicinal Plant Garden: Focus on plants known for their healing properties. Echinacea and elderberry can support the immune system, calendula and aloe vera offer skin healing benefits, and yarrow can be used for its anti-inflammatory properties. Such a garden provides both beauty and a natural, homegrown first aid kit. Bees & Butterfly Garden: Aimed at supporting pollinators, include a mix of flowering plants that bloom at different times throughout the growing season to provide continuous food sources. Consider plants like lavender, bee balm, zinnias, sunflowers, and butterfly bush. Edible Flower Garden: Combine the beauty of flowering plants with the utility of edible produce. Grow flowers like nasturtiums, which have a peppery taste, violets for sweet and decorative elements, borage with its cucumber-like flavor, and marigolds for a spicy tang. Edible flower gardens are perfect for gardeners looking to add unique flavors and colors to their dishes. #SpringGardening #HerbTeaGarden #MedicinalPlants #BeesAndButterflies #EdibleFlowerGarden #GardeningIdeas #NatureConnection #EclecticHerb #Herbs #BiodiversityGardens #GardenInspiration

New blog on nettles here: https://eclecticherb.com/blogs/news/freeze-dried-nettles Ever considered foraging for nettles? 🌿💚 With spring in full swing, it's the perfect time to don your gloves and embark on a little green adventure. Nettles are not only a superfood but also abundant in the wild. Here’s how to safely gather your own: 1. Dress for Success: Wear long sleeves, long pants, and gloves. Nettles are famous for their sting, and it's best to protect yourself. 2. Identify Your Greens: Look for nettles in damp, shaded areas, often near rivers or in woodland. They have a distinctive look with serrated leaves and tiny hairs. 3. Harvest Thoughtfully: Use scissors or shears to cut the top few inches of the plant. This encourages regrowth and ensures sustainability. Remember, young nettle leaves are the most tender and flavorful. 4. Preparation is Key: Once home, rinse the nettles thoroughly. Blanche them in boiling water for a few minutes to remove the sting, and they’re ready to use in your favorite recipes! Gathering nettles can be a delightful way to connect with nature and add a nutritious boost to your meals. Whether you're making a hearty soup, a vibrant pesto, or a refreshing tea, nettles offer a world of possibilities. Just remember to forage responsibly and enjoy the bounty nature provides. Happy foraging! #ForagingTips #NettleGathering #NatureLovers #EclecticHerb #WildEdibles #ForagingAdventure #SustainableForaging #NatureConnection #FreezeDried #Nettles #StingingNettles
