It’s walnut season! We’re still in Portugal and found a few walnut trees near where we are staying so we’ve been collecting. And there are lots of nettles coming up now, so I came up with the idea for nettle and walnut paté and it worked quite well:
- A couple of large handfuls of nettles
- 1 cup walnuts, soaked for 4 hours or more
- 3 sun dried tomato halves, soaked
- squeeze of lemon juice
- around a cup of olive oil
- dried oregano
- water if necessary to blend
Blend! I actually had problems blending as we don’t have the Vitamix with us while travelling and the blender we have is not very good, hence needing to add a fair bit of olive oil and water to make it blend.
Enjoy! Let me know in the comments if you like it, or make your own version of it.
Great to find nettle recipes that are a bit different, love nettles, glad I found your site! I grow nettles in my garden not only to eat and make tea for myself but also to make a fertilizer tea for my plants and as a compost accelerator, great plant. Will be trying your fermented whole courgette recipe as well.
