Culinary Tips

• Sorrel is a wonderfully pungent, tart spring green that takes well to rich and sweet ingredients.
• Sorrel has a tangy lemon flavor that is also perfect for soups and salads.
• You can use it raw as an herb or cooked as a vegetable. The leaves will darken from grassy green to a drab olive when heated.
• Toss chopped raw sorrel leaves and toss with milder lettuces such as butter and bibb. Sorrel also works with bitter arugula and radicchio. Go lightly on the acid in the dressing, or skip it entirely and just gloss the salad greens with good olive oil and some salt.
• You don’t need much to contribute lots of lemony flavor and vitamins C, A, iron, calcium and magnesium.
