Recipe & Guide - Sorrel
Savor sorrel’s distinctively tart appeal in salads and more. This tart and tasty member of the buckwheat family has long been a staple in European cooking-in fact, no French kitchen garden would be complete without a row of sorrel.
With a taste somewhat like spinach, sorrel brings soups, salads, sauces and egg dishes to life. A relative to rhubarb, sorrel gets its name from the French and German words for sour. And sour it is, but only in the most pleasantly piquant way. Happily, its pucker-up appeal is finally making its way to North America. Available year round, thanks to greenhouse cultivation, look for a bunch with firm, bright green leaves and stems with no wilting, yellow or brown spots. Look for the most tender stems. Preparation and Eating Tips
Sorrel can contain dirt and grit, so wash and drain thoroughly before using. Use raw to add interest to salads and coleslaw, or serve cooked as a side dish or in casseroles. Cook quickly with little water to avoid wilting. Sorrel-Stuffed Veggie Balls – 1 Hour 1 pound potatoes, peeled
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided
Milk to moisten
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
½ cup carrots, grated
1-1/2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely minced
¼ pond sorrel 1. Cut potatoes into chunks. Boil for 15 – 20 minutes, then drain and mash in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons butter, milk pepper, carrots and chives. Set aside.
2. Remove stems from sorrel, then shred finely.
3. In a skillet, melt remaining butter. Add sorrel and stir, cooking over medium heat until sorrel is wilted and its colour has faded to olive green.
4. Form potato mixture into eight 2-inch balls. With your finger poke a hole in each ball big enough to accommodate ½ teaspoon of sorrel mixture. Pinch the hole closed and reshape the ball. Chill for one hour.
5. Coat an oven-safe serving dish and bake for 15 – 20 minutes in a 450° F oven. Serve hot. Yields 6 servings.
