Red Veined Sorrel ?

[Tarragon2017]

Hello all

Would you kindly confirm I have red veined sorrel growing wild amongst chervil , Lovage and weeds , As I have found a recipe

[Scarlet]

Yes, that looks like it to me!

[veggiechicken]

Looks like it to me too.

[Jay-ell]

Yep does look like it. If you taste a little bit of the leaf it should have a lemony tang.

Spit it out if it doesn't.

[MyWifesBrassicas]

yep, looks like mine too.
Interestingly, whats the recipe please?

I hope you enjoy eating it, cause you'll have it around for some time! I can't get rid of it out of my garden lol I'm hoping that turning my little back garden patch into no dig will help, but it's even popping up in pots that only have fresh compost in it - god knows how

[Jay-ell]

Sorrel will kick up a flower spike and will produce a load of seeds so you'll have it coming up all over the place

I don't think i like the taste and not too sure I'm going to keep it. Might try one final recipe before i bin it

A tip, the older the leaves the more pungent the taste, younger leaves have less 'bite' and flavour. I don't like the FS flavour on it's own but I like it paired with fish and cheesy stuff. Can give nutrients back to the soil if you toss it back there too.

Yr plants look really nice and lush and healthy!
