Wood sorrel soup with green peppercorn and mint

The wood sorrels—sometimes called sourgrasses—are a group of extremely widely distributed edible weeds in the genus Oxalis. As their name suggests, wood sorrels have a distinctly tart flavor due to the presence of oxalic acid. The seed pods of the wood sorrels are crisp and quite sour, and are therefore sometimes called fairy pickles. Wood sorrel is a commonly foraged green which grows well in disturbed areas, woodland, lawns, and gardens; it may be used as a pot herb or a salad green, or brewed into tea.

This recipe is for a blended soup similar to schav (Yiddish): an eastern European soup made with common sorrel (Rumex acetosa), vegetables, and smetana (sour cream)—and to potage crème d'oseille: a French soup made with sorrel or other sour, foraged greens; broth; eggs; and cream. In my version of this soup, the bright, lemony sourness of wood sorrel is deepened with garlic, tempered with a non-dairy milk, and complemented by the fresh, earthy, citrusy notes of green peppercorn. A garnish of chiffonaded mint or green onion adds some herbacious sharpness that plays well against the fresh wood sorrel.

Ingredients:

50g (1 cup packed) yellow wood sorrel

1 small sweet onion

3 cloves garlic, crushed

Margarine, to fry

Salt to taste

1 tsp ground green peppercorns

2 cups vegetable stock

1/3 to 1/2 cup non-dairy milk, to taste

1 Tbsp flour

Mint or green onion, to garnish

Besides common yellow wood sorrel (Oxalis stricta), procumbent yellow sorrel (O. corniculata), or slender yellow wood sorrel (O. dillenii), will also work.

All three species have leaves which are alternate (one leaf per node), trifoliate (three leaflets per leaf), and petiolate (attached to the stem by a leafstalk, rather than directly); have heart-shaped leaflets; and have yellow, five-petalled flowers. Leaflets open in the sun and close (folding downwards) at night.

O. stricta plants grow upright when very young, but are afterwards recumbent; each plant has only one root, so the stems are not truly creeping (sending down new roots at the nodes). Stems may have small hairs spreading away from the center. Flowers appear in branched clusters, usually from 5 to 7 per inflorescence. Pedicels (seed pods) are erect.

O. stricta roots once; if young and light, it is upright. If mature and heavy enough, it will lie recumbent along the rest of its length without rooting again.

O. corniculata plants are prostrate, spreading via overground stolons which root into the ground again at the nodes. Pedicels are deflexed (hanging down) or horizontal.

O. corniculata spreads along the ground; if you try to pull up a mature plant, you will note it is rooted at more than one point (if soil is available).

O. dillenii is sometimes considered a type of O. stricta. Plants are erect and may reach over a foot in height. Flowers usually appear in 2s, but there may be as many as 6 per infloresence. Stems have appressed (lying flat against the stem surface) hairs. Pedicels are reflexed (bent).

O. dillenii, upright with hairy stems and seed pods whose peduncles have a sharp bend in them, like an elbow. Leaves sometimes slightly reddish.

Instructions:

Wash wood sorrel in a bowl of water, then draw the plants out to allow dirt to sink to the bottom. Include leaves, stems, seed pods, and flowers.

In a large soup pot, melt margarine on medium-high. Fry onion, garlic, a pinch of salt, and half the green pepper until the onion is golden brown.

Add sorrel and heat until thoroughly wilted.

Add stock and simmer 10 minutes.

Whisk flour into 1/3 cup non-dairy milk; add the mixture to the pot and whisk. Taste and add another splash of milk if the soup remains too sour.

Add remaining green pepper and salt to taste. Simmer another 3 minutes or so.

Garnish. Serve hot or cold.

Plant of the Day

Thursday 8 February 2024

The sour‑tasting young leaves of Pelargonium acetosum (sorrel cranesbill, sorrel-leaved pelargonium) are eaten in South Africa in the same way as tart flavoured Rumex acetosa (sorrel). The plant is drought tolerant but needs to be kept frost free but cool in the winter with good light.

#2477 - Oxalis sp.

Possibly Oxalis magellanica, which is native to Aotearoa and South America (magellenica as in Straits of Magellan), but while NZ has some native Oxalis species, it has considerably more that aren't. Including Oxalis tuberosa, a staple crop in the Andes and highly popular in New Zealand where they're called yams.

There are some 550 species of Oxalis worldwide, most of them in tropical Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa. The common name wood sorrels refers to their acidic taste (from Oxalic acid) reminiscent of the true sorrel (Rumex acetosa), which is not closely related. Other common names include as false shamrocks, and sourgrasses.

text posts will be tagged with 'acetosa textpost'

reblogs will not have a specific tag

(i feel like onion tags would be someone elses already)

look at my silliness if you want ! or don't if you don't want to idk i'm not forcing you !

[brightclothesforwinter]

huh, I suppose this ought to also work with sorrel-sorrel, as in Rumex acetosa, of which there is an excess in my garden? Since I think the oxalis sorrels are so-named for the similar flavour. (I've always thought it tastes like gooseberries, myself.)

Day before yesterday I impulsively nibbled a bit of my mountain mint plant and after 3 seconds had to spit it out because my mouth flooded with intense, burning minty cold much greater than normal spearmint

What Are The Best Leafy Greens For Fall?

Growing leafy greens in the fall can be a great way to extend your harvest and enjoy fresh, nutritious produce well into the cooler months. Here are some of the best leafy greens to consider planting in the fall: Lettuce (Lactuca sativa): Varieties like 'Butterhead,' 'Romaine,' and 'Red Leaf' are excellent choices for fall. They're quick to mature and can be harvested as baby greens or full heads. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea): Spinach is a cold-hardy green that thrives in cooler temperatures. Plant varieties like 'Winter Bloomsdale' or 'Tyee' for fall harvesting. Kale (Brassica oleracea var. acephala): Kale is incredibly cold-tolerant and becomes sweeter after exposure to frost. Varieties like 'Curly Kale' and 'Lacinato' (Dinosaur Kale) are popular choices. Swiss Chard (Beta vulgaris var. cicla): Swiss chard can be grown throughout the fall. The colorful stems and tender leaves are versatile in cooking. Arugula (Eruca sativa): Arugula has a peppery flavor and is a fast-growing green, perfect for fall salads and sandwiches. Mâche (Valerianella locusta): Also known as lamb's lettuce, mâche is a cold-hardy green with a mild, nutty flavor. Endive (Cichorium endivia): Endive varieties like 'Escarole' and 'Frisee' can be grown in the fall for their slightly bitter leaves, which are excellent in salads and cooked dishes. Mustard Greens (Brassica juncea): Mustard greens come in various flavors, from mild to spicy. Plant 'Southern Giant Curled' or 'Ruby Streaks' for fall harvesting. Collard Greens (Brassica oleracea var. acephala): Collards are a traditional Southern green that thrives in cooler temperatures and becomes sweeter after a frost. Asian Greens (Various Varieties): Bok choy, tatsoi, and komatsuna are Asian greens that do well in the fall garden. They have a range of flavors from mild to peppery. Radicchio (Cichorium intybus): Radicchio is known for its bitter leaves and attractive red color. It's a cool-weather crop ideal for fall. Cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata): Some cabbage varieties, like 'Savoy' or 'Red Cabbage,' can be planted in late summer for fall harvests. Sorrel (Rumex acetosa): Sorrel has tangy, lemony leaves and is a perennial green that can be harvested throughout the fall. Chicory (Cichorium intybus): Chicory varieties like 'Radicchio' and 'Sugarloaf' are cold-hardy greens with slightly bitter flavors. When planting fall greens, consider using row covers or cold frames to protect your plants from frost and extend the growing season. Additionally, choose varieties that are specifically suited for fall growing, as they tend to be more cold-tolerant and bolt-resistant. With the right care, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of leafy greens well into autumn. Read the full article

Rare Bloody Dock Red Sorrel Seeds Heirloom Non-GMO BN50 Bloody Dock Red Sorrel (Rumex sanguineus). Stunning foliage plant with elongated, medium green leaves, exquisitely veined in a brilliant burgundy-purple. A hardy perennial, it quickly forms an attractive clump, which sends up red flower clusters in early summer, followed by brown seed heads. A superb, deer-resistant accent plant. Count: 50+ 6-12 hours of Sun Sprouts in 10-14 Days Ideal Temperature: 65-75 Degrees F Seed Depth: 1/4" Plant Spacing: 10-12" Frost Hardy: Yes Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Family: Polygonaceae Type: Annuals, Perennials Sun Exposure: Full Sun Water: Regular Water Planting Zones: 4-11 Family: Polygonaceae Rumex sanguineus (Red) Sorrel is grown for their edible leaves, which can be used raw in salads or cooked in soups, sauces, egg dishes. The flavor is like that of sharp, sprightly spinach, but sorrel is more heat tolerant and produces throughout the growing season. Common sorrel (Rumex acetosa) is a larger plant (to 3 feet tall), with leaves 6 inches long, many shaped like elongated arrowheads. It is native to northern climates. French sorrel (R. scutatus) is a more sprawling plant, to 112 feet high, with shorter, broader leaves and a milder, more lemony flavor than R. acetosa. Native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa. The oxalic acid found in sorrel can replace lemon, which is often added to smoothies to balance out the taste. Grow sorrel in reasonably good soil. Sow seeds in early spring; thin seedlings to 8 inches apart. Or set out transplants at any time, spacing them 8 inches apart. Pick tender leaves when they are big enough to use; cut out flowering stems to encourage leaf production. Replace (or dig and divide) plants after 3 or 4 years. The plant grows to about 2 feet in height in clumps with pink flowers in racemose appearing during early summer. Growing Tips: Harvest tender leaves starting in early spring, remove flowering tops to keep leaves tender and to prevent unwanted volunteers. May become invasive in some climates. Like any other greens, wash sorrel clumps thoroughly in clean running water and rinse in salt water for about 30 minutes in order to remove dirt and any insecticide residues. The fresh herb should be used early to get maximum nutrition. To store, keep wrapped in a damp towel and place in the refrigerator for extended use (up to 3 days). Sorrel uses – Add to soups – Make it into a sauce for fish – Add to omelets and scrambled eggs – Add to stuffing for meat – Shred sorrel and stuff it into fish – Add to quiches – Add to mashed potatoes – Add to hummus – Add to pasta – Add to mixed-leaf and herb salads – Add to chard and spinach anywhere you would use those – Use as a filling for buckwheat crêpes – Make it into a pesto, to use in pasta, on pizzas, or with grilled salmon – Sorrel Smoothie Note: No tracking # will be provided to make the shipping cost-effective for us and free for you.
