from Vegetable Literacy by Deborah Madison
Sorrel is a delicious, lemony herb with a short season in the spring. One bite and you know instantly that it is a cousin of rhubarb and a member of the knotweed family. With its intense tart flavor, sorrel is best used as an herb to help “brighten” dishes like grilled vegetables, potatoes, eggs and fish. A leaf or two finely chopped makes a great addition to a light grain dish like a rice pilaf or quinoa salad.This recipe from Deborah Madison’s Vegetable Literacy is a versatile favorite. My two year old and my husband love it equally. Whip it up, keep it in the fridge and enjoy it throughout the week on fish, vegetables and lentils. It’s a knockout on salmon. -Ginger
