Fast Slow Food: From garden to table in 20 minutes or less…<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
As related in my book and my talks over the years, some of the best food is in this category and one common way of using wild and garden veggies in the Mediterranean countries is simply to gather a selection of greens, boil and fry in olive oil with garlic and chili, mix with scrambled eggs.\u00a0<\/span>Two of the wild foraged species mentioned at the beginning of the Mediterranean chapter are<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
a) Clematis vitalba<\/em> (Old man’s beard \/ Tyskklematis)….must be boiled to detoxify as it’s related to buttercups (sm\u00f8rblomst) <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
b) Anchusa azurea<\/em> (large blue alkanet): quote from the book “Anchusa azurea is a perfect perennial edimental with superb azure-blue flowers in summer. Young leaves and flowering shoots of this species and others in the same family have been gathered from the wild in most Mediterranean countries. In Cyprus, for example, they were boiled alone, boiled with beans or fried. Like its annual cousin borage, Borago officinalis, the flowers are an attractive addition to salads or just freeze them in ice-cubes.”<\/span><\/div>\n
