? How to Prepare Stinging Nettles

Handle raw nettles with gloves, as their tiny hairs can sting the skin. Once cooked, dried, or blended, they lose their sting completely.

To prepare:

  • Rinse well while wearing gloves
  • Blanch in boiling water for 1–2 minutes or sauté until wilted
  • Use in soups, teas, pesto, or as a spinach substitute

Mild, earthy, and incredibly nourishing—nettles are a traditional seasonal favorite!

? Simple Nettle Soup (Comforting & Nourishing)

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 potato, peeled & diced
  • 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
  • 4–5 cups fresh stinging nettles (handled with gloves)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: splash of cream or squeeze of lemon

Instructions:

  1. Heat oil in a pot, sauté onion until soft.
  2. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.
  3. Add potato and broth, simmer until potatoes are tender (10–15 min).
  4. Add nettles and cook 2–3 minutes (they’ll wilt and lose their sting).
  5. Blend until smooth (optional) or leave rustic.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and finish with cream or lemon if desired.

✨ Tip: Serve with crusty bread and a drizzle of olive oil.
