This is a classic, traditional, Greek recipe for a salad of boiled wild greens. As the greens are boiled, you can use more bitter, tougher and more aromatic greens than you normally would for this kind of dish.

Ingredients:

1kg mixed wild greens (eg 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.

Place in a salad bowl and toss with a mix of the olive oil and vinegar. Serve warm.
