Sunday Lunch Nettles
We love a sunday lunch and by no means do we want to cause a shake up there. However, have you ever considered the time, effort, and resources growers invest to meet the demand for Sunday greens and other sunday sides?
What if we included a green that grows abundantly on farms in spring and autumn?
Chef Ian Webber has embraced stinging nettles, incorporating them into Sunday greens in a truly delicious way. Check out his Nettle and Leek ‘no cauli’ cheese.
If every Sunday lunch pub/restaurant started featuring nutritious nettles, it could create additional income for growers with minimal effort. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to introduce customers to their amazing flavour. Nettles grow abundantly across the country with no inputs—these are the kinds of foods that can help feed people at scale.
