I'm growing sorrel!
Comments (14)LOL, was the plant where deer could get to it? I have deer crossing my yard regularly here and they LOVE it! Had to move it into the fenced in portion of the yard where my dogs are to prevent the deer from eating it all (The dogs have a lot of trees to 'mark' so the herbs are safe.) It is a perennial by the way--I started out with one small plant in '06. It came back in '07--with 4 'crowns', which I divided into 4 plants. This year it came back again and I separated it into several more, so I now have about 10, looking a little like green hostas....See MoreSorrel - where to find it
Comments (10)You can grow sorrel in the garden, but it is a spring green, so you are not likely to find it in the stores now. Sorrel grows wild in many places in the US, you can find it in your lawn and garden all the time, maybe even growing out of that crack in the pavement out back, but you have to know what you are looking for. Another name for wild sorrel is "sheep sorrel" or "sour grass." There are actually two kinds of wild sorrel and they are not related. Sorrel soup was a popular peasant food, folks went out and foraged for it and were happy to have some fresh greens after a long winter. Spinach, chard or escarole with lemon are common sorrel subs. Sheep Sorrel There are lots of sorrels, but these are two of the most common ones you can find as weeds. There are other kinds with more lush leaves you can grow in the garden and maybe find in a few gourmet greengrocers places, but I imagine they would be few and far between. I've only seen it maybe once or twice, usually is some special novelty marketing item--gourment greens and all that....See MoreSo you eat sorrel?
Comments (12)gooster, that was a fascinating episode. ! I met Daniel and his wife last spring. Lovely, friendly and full of life just as i expected. (did not know about his childhood). I do grow sorrel. And many other greens and things in small amounts. Some intended, some hitchhikers. Some i should not like but accept...(the horseradish) Sorrel?...i think in small quantities it can be an anti-inflamatory and healthy. (I have inherited joint issues). I use sorrel as more of a finishing garnish, a few young leaves in a base for fish or chicken. A last minute addition to a sauce. As in the classic made in Bourdain's recent episode. Salmon with sorrel sauce. Something i'm not sure of, in larger quantities, like a pesto, i avoid. Just try to balance out the meal with a salad and dressing that includes a contrasting herb. Mustard, fresh ginger, turmeric, lots of lemon and citrus....See MoreI'll Share My Recipe if you Share Yours August 17
