Sow thistle with red onion, goat cheese and pine nuts
This recipe is usually what I use with spinach but it also works well with Sow thisthle.
(pictures will follow)
Ingredients: 1/2 Bag packed with Sow thistle leaves 1 Clove of garlic, minced 1/4 Red onion, thinly sliced (or more if you like) Goat cheese, crumbled Pine nuts. Olive oil 1/4 Cup chicken broth or more if necessary salt and pepper Nutmeg to taste Directions: Rinse, chop and boil the Sow thistle leaves for a few minutes. Drain. Heat olive oil in a big fry pan and saute the red onion for three minutes. Add minced garlic and saute for another minute. Lower the heat to medium and add the Sow thistle leaves while stirring. They will shrink so you can keep adding leaves. When they're all shrunk, add some chicken broth and cover, simmer for ten minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir in a couple of table spoons of crumbled goat cheese, or to taste, and pine nuts. Serves 4. |
