stinging nettles, wild brassicas, deadnettles, ramsons, ground elder, oragano etc)
salt
6 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 tbsp vinegar
Method:
Thoroughly wash the greens then place in a pan of boiling water and cook for about 8 minutes, or until well blanched. Drain then cop roughly and season with salt.
