Mixed wild greens
Mixed wild greens are blends of edible spontaneous plants whose composition and suitability for raw or cooked dishes vary.
- Composition
- A variable blend of edible wild plants
- Preparation
- Depends on the plants and leaf tenderness
Try it in the kitchen
Mixed leaves enter Puglian salads, broths and dishes with tomato or fava beans. Choose a blend sold for cooking and serve the cooked leaves with a spoonful of fava-bean purée.
Ask what is in the blend
Buy an identified edible blend and ask which plants it contains and how it should be prepared. The Puglia atlas distinguishes tender salad leaves from more fibrous leaves used cooked; one preparation does not suit every mixture.
