Herb patties

We're in the beginning of June and lots of herbs are ready to be picked right now. They make a delicious, healthy ingedient in many dishes. So grab a basket and go foraging.

For these patties you want only the new, crispy shoots.

Vorgehensweise

Rinse the herbs. Blanch the stinging nettles in boiling water about 1 min. to remove the sting. Strain the nettles. Chop them and the other herbs. Mix the herbs with onion, oats, flour, milk and eggs. Season to taste. The consistency must be quite firm.

Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan. Place spoonfuls of the mixture in the pan and cook the patties until golden and crisp on both sides.
