🌿🐞🌿 Cleavers is our Herb of the Week! 🌿🐞🌿

The Cleavers herb is a sticky sprawling plant long-loved by children (and mischievous adults) for its ability to easily stick to clothing. Similar to burdock seeds, the mature cleavers plant is covered in little hooks that help the plant to grow tall by allowing it to grab on to other plants. It also helps the plant to hitchhike to new and exciting places to spread its seed.

It is a wonderful cooling and draining medicinal herb, perfect for hot and stagnant conditions.

The season for nettle! Nearly all parts of the spring nettle plant are edible including the young shoot (less than 18 inches), the leaf and tender stem, the flowers, and the seed (in small amounts). The leaf has a deep green “meaty” flavor and can be used in a variety of culinary dishes including soups, stews, omelets, frittatas, quiches, and casseroles. Once the stem grows taller than 18 inches it can be used in tonics and beverages such as tea. Nettle is rich in calcium, magnesium, and iron.

A favorite recipe of ours?

NETTLE SOUP:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion chopped
½ cup uncooked rice (wild rice is great but any rice will do)
Several large handfuls stinging nettle tops
3-4 cloves chopped garlic
8 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Mixed vegetables, or corn or whatever veggie you like that day
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Potatoes and/or leeks can also be added

Directions: Carefully pick nettles – gloves are recommended. Take only the top 4-6 inches of new unblemished spring plants that are less than 18 inches tall. Remove the leaves. You may need to rinse and pat them dry.
Start cooking your rice. In a separate large soup pan melt the butter, add the onion and garlic and simmer until translucent. Add the broth and onion and garlic mixture and nettles leaves in the soup pan and bring to a full boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes. At this point we use an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
Add the vegetables, rice and salt and pepper (and any other herbs you like) and simmer a few more minutes.

Enjoy this recipe (and so many more on the blog)!
