Lambs Quarters, by Jill Kuhel

lambsquarters

If you have any open dirt odds are good you have lambs quarter. This is one I was slow to buy into, but I am a convert! I have added it to my breakfast egg bake and mixed it with pork in wontons. Pick the young leaves and use it anyway you would cooked spinach.

Kay Young has a lambs quarter mushroom recipe in her book Wild Seasons, which is a favorite at pot lucks. Roger Welsch suggests cooking it with bacon in his book Weed’em and Reap.

A gift in your yard to feed your tummy! Be creative, get messy and cook with lambs quarters!
