Wildcrafting


Today was a bit rainy and overcast in Massachusetts but we went out anyway and I harvested a motherload of red clover that is now drying loverly in my kitchen. I am going to use it for iced/hot tea- it is a great female tonic and the fresh buds are a nice visual addition to salads that also add a touch of sweetness.



My other find was some choice wild mustard greens; they are shaped like arugula but with the fine teeth of radish leaves. I plan on sauteeing them in garlic and oil and tossing with spicy italian sausage over pasta for lunch today, instead of broccoli rabe. Yum!
