Crispy Fried Herb Bennet


We have loads of Herb Bennet growing in our beautiful ancient woodland.  I knew that it had been used as a flavouring in Victorian times, but this recipe from Robin Harford to have it crispy fried as an alternative to seaweed is a real winner!

Ingredients

  • 6 handfuls of Herb Bennet leaves, chopped
  • 2 handfuls of ramsons, chopped
  • Knob of butter
  • Sugar

How to cook the Crispy Fried Herb Bennet

  • Melt the butter in a frying pan
  • Add the chopped leaves and fry until crispy, adding more butter if required
  • Sprinkle a little sugar over the dish before serving
