In Emilia-Romagna, a delicious and rustic preparation. We often make it at home, especially when going on a trip. Practical and tasty. I have no shortage of herbs, in the garden I find an incredible variety that grows alongside the cultivated vegetables, and what I can’t consume myself, ends up with my hens, which repay me with tasty eggs.
With wild herbs, I prepare many recipes, I have them at hand, they are good and healthy; without overlooking the economic aspect, which I believe is important.
In this recipe I used:
Lamb’s Quarters (Chenopodium album) Bladder Campion (Silene vulgaris) Arugula (Eruca sativa)
.
