Crumbed fish with creamed nettles
Crumbing the fish fillets
The breaded fish fillets can be prepared and crumbed in advance, just fry them fresh before serving.
You will need an assembly line of three bowls to make the breaded fish.
Coat the fish fillets well by dusting the slices in flour first, then dip them in the egg wash and finally coat them evenly in bread crumbs.
I like to use standard bread crumbs for a European style crumbed fish. However panco crumbs works fine too.
Leftover cooked crumbed fish are great in sandwiches the next day.
how to cook with nettles
Stinging nettles should be cooked for 2-3 minutes in boiling water and refreshed in cold water. After that you can touch them and consume them safely.
Pick the nettle leaves from the stalks and discard the stalks.
Once blanched the stinging nettles can be frozen if you wish.
Stinging nettles have a mild earthy flavor similar to spinach but with a slight tang and peppery hint to it.
Picking nettles
To gather wild greens like stinging nettles and adding it to your diet can be very beneficial. You can be sure the nettles are organic and nutritious.
The young leaves near the top of the fresh nettles plant are best to cut and prepare. Use gardening gloves and scissors to cut the stalks and avoid touching the plant with your bare skin when picking nettles.
Breaded fish with nettles is a great hunter gather meal.
Catching your own fish and foraging for wild plants is the most natural, healthy and sustainable way to get ingredients and prepare food.
