Walnut Pate with Ramps and Sea Vegetables

Ramps are a delicious first spring edible that comes up before forest canopies fill out.  Look out for the signature eye shaped leaf, it will probably be some of the first green you'll see in the forest.  They have a delicious  but lite taste, related to onions and garlic.  This recipe is a fun way to eat ramps raw.  They add a lite savory element, and while you could use onions and garlic In my opinion the taste of the ramps is superior.

Pumpkin Seed Nettles Pesto

Hey y'all,

The first greens which come up in Spring are some of the most mineral rich and nutrient rich foods of the whole season...... so this is the first recipe, with probably more to follow.

While some parts of the US are still under snow, Stinging Nettles are knee high right now in NC, so I thought I gotta drop this easy and delicious recipe, and hopefully inspire you take advantage of this delicious and nutritious Wild Edible.  I threw the Kelp in optionally for those of you who may be stocking up the thyroid to protect against radioactive Iodine.... and it's a really great addition.


Stinging Nettles Pesto

1 Cup Stinging Nettles
1 Cup soaked almonds
1/2 Cup soaked pumpkin seeds
6 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 Lemon
1/2 up Olive Oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
2 teaspoons Kelp (optional)

It may help to rough chop the nettles, but after that simply add the ingredients into a food proccesor and blend.

Goes great with vegetables, crackers, in a collard or Nori wrap, or simply on top of a salad...
