12 to 18 burdock stalks (leafy
parts removed and discarded)
4 beaten eggs
1 c. Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs
2 T. flour
1 pinch of baking powder
Salt and pepper
2 T. Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
4 beaten eggs
1 c. Italian-style seasoned breadcrumbs
2 T. flour
1 pinch of baking powder
Salt and pepper
2 T. Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Cut stalks (like celery) into 3
inch pieces. Par-boil until tender. Drain and set aside.
Using three pans or dishes side by side create a dipping station. Add flour and baking powder to the first dish. Add beaten eggs to the next. Add cheese, crumbs, salt and pepper to the last. Heat oil in a skillet. Dip the stalks one at a time in this order: Flour, egg, and crumbs. (The flour helps the egg stick, and the egg helps the crumbs stick). Drop carefully into hot oil, cook both sides until golden brown.

Whether you're new to wild harvests or an old pro at munching your way through the weeds in your backyard, I think it's worth repeating a few things. Some populations of plants are barely surviving due to competition by aggressive invaders and mindless harvesting. Just because you can eat that native species, doesn't mean you should. It's best to just eat the weeds and leave the rest, especially mushrooms which play an important role in the ecosystem. As far as exotic species go, munch away. They don't belong here anyway and they taste great.
Be safe! Before you start picking, be sure no pesticides or herbicides have been used there. Only pick where you know for sure.

My prize, seen below, are two flower-themed hand-enameled copper pendants crafted by a talented jewelry-artist friend of mine. They are one of a kind creations, no other pieces like them. I'm sorry to say my picture doesn't do them justice (new camera, old eyes). Their much prettier in person. Both are strung on black cords, the blue one has a hand-enameled copper bead.
