Nicola came up with this recipe for a wild and weedy curry. We’ve used dead nettles, ground elder, ramsons and hogweed, but stinging nettles would work well. It’s straight forward to make and tastes great!
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Butter
- Olive oil
- 100g desiccated coconut
- Finely grated fresh ginger
- 2 tsp of ground cumin
- ½ tsp of chilli powder
- 2 tbsp of tomato puree
- 2 medium carrots sliced
- 2 medium tomatoes diced
- 300ml of water
- Single cream to finish
- A big handful of dead nettles finely chopped
- A big handful of ground elder finely chopped
- A big handful of hogweed
- 2 big handfuls of ramsons finely chopped
How to make wild and weedy curry
- Chop onions and garlic finely and fry in a little butter and olive oil until soft
- Add the desiccated coconut, finely grated ginger and spices
