Now is the time for nettles.
The nettle pancake is delicious and healthy. Sauli Kemppainen
Nettles are the easiest summer food in the world, according to top chef Sauli Kemppainen.
Kemppainen has a goal:
– The whole of Finland should be allowed to collect valuable nettles from forests and fields, Kemppainen, who moved to Finland from Germany a few years ago, inspires, and continues:
– Nettle is the easiest and best summer food in the world to be a friend of barbecue ribs and sausages or to pop as such.
Kemppainen reminds that soon forests and fields will be full of free superfood. It just needs to be collected and prepared for food.
The younger and smaller the nettle, the more neutral and pleasant its taste.
In addition to the pancake instructions, Kemppainen also distributes the filling instructions. No salt or spices have been forgotten about the filling, as they are not needed this time.
– Let everything taste like the product itself tastes good.
The nettle is ripped and the excess water is squeezed out. Sauli Kemppainen
Salen nettles
Dough:
2.5 dl of red milk
3 eggs
1.5 dl semi-coarse wheat flour
100 g of crushed nettle leaves, dry-pressed and finely chopped or pureed
1 tablespoon fine sugar
less than 1 teaspoon of fine salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Filling:
50 g of ripe corn
50 g of fresh cucumber
50 g of tomato
50 g of American salad
30 g of mayonnaise
1. Peel the leaves from the nettles, first wash them in cold water and then immerse them in boiling water for 1 minute, cool rapidly in cold water.
2. Squeeze dry. Finely chop with a knife or use a mixer and make a fairly smooth puree or puree.
3. Prepare a normal pancake by mixing all the dough ingredients together. Finally, add the pre-treated nettles as well.
4. Let the dough swell for 1 hour. Fry the pancakes in a pan in butter or oil or a mixture.
5. Fill the finished pancakes with different vegetables or roots.
6. Cut all the ingredients finely, tie the ingredients together with mayonnaise. The mayonnaise really binds the ingredients together nicely and brings the necessary juiciness.
7. The finished rolls can be well wrapped in fresh film and allowed to cool properly in the refrigerator.
8. Can be enjoyed even as an appetizer while waiting for the main course from the grill.
Nettles can be stuffed with vegetables. Sauli Kemppainen
