Who doesn’t like prawn toast when they have a Chinese. Here we’ve added some nettles to the recipe, and it definitely is better for it. But don’t take my word for it – give it a try yourself, it’s really easy to make and tastes great. Plus nettles are good for you, so a win win!
Ingredients
- 2 handfuls of prepared nettles*
- Bunch of ramsons
- 12 raw prawns
- 1 egg
- 6 slices of bread
- 2cm piece of ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp of soy sauce
- Sesame seeds
- Pinch of salt
- Olive oil
How to make the Sesame Nettle Toast

*To prepare the nettles, plunge them into hot water, immediately refresh them with cold water, drain and ring out any water.
We sometimes make Chinese sesame nettle toast on our 1 Day Foraging Courses.
You can see loads of photos from that, and all of our other courses, on our Facebook page.
