I had been asked if I had photos of the roots of chicory (sikkori) and sweet cicely (Spansk kj\u00f8rvel) for a talk about wild edible roots. I therefore dug some from the garden.\u00a0
Inspired by traditional Mediterranean ways of preparing wild and cultivated vegetables, I boiled the roots and they were then stir-fried with onions and winter chantarelle mushrooms before being added to scrambled egg (see the pictures for more).
All the roots on the perennial chicory were far too fibrous to eat, but the sweet cicely roots were good (at least the younger ones!)
More or less any vegetable can be prepared this way!
Simple is best!
