Directions
Wood Sorrel is one of my favourite foraged herbs. It’s abundant in the forests of Ireland. Easy to identify, it’s a nice “beginner wild food”. It has the unmistakeable flavour of a tart green apple skin. Because of that, you can add a little sugar to this recipe to sweeten it up. Wild food UK has some pretty good tips for identifying Wood Sorrel.
This Wood Sorrel Tart recipe is very simple to make. I used last year’s frozen berries to top off the tarts.
This is the second Foraging Recipe in a series from Tony Smith. The first, Tony’s Wild Garlic Mayo is also worth checking out!
