Suggested uses:
Green smoothie: Take a stem of each type of plant and blend with water in a food processor. You can add ginger, apple and or lemon for some extra zesty goodness! Make in a large batch and freeze into icecube trays for an easy way to load up on green goodness each morning.
Wild soup: Chop up 3 shallots (included in your November box), add to a large saucepan and brown with a generous blob of butter or olive oil. Chop your bag of wild mineral boost mix and add to the shallots, cook on a low-medium heat until softened. Top up with 1L of water, bring to the boil, add salt to taste. Serve as is, or blend into a smooth soup. Garnish with some parsley and a generous blob of soured cream/yoghurt and a sprinkle of smoked paprika/ground cumin/ground black cumin seeds.
Feta/nut cheese, pine and pomegranate salad: Finely chop the bag of wild mineral boost, add to a salad bowl, remove pomegranate seeds from 1-2 whole pomegranates and sprinkle them through the salad, crumble feta/nut cheese and sprinkle onto the leaves. Add pine seeds as desired, mix well. Drizzle a herby, lemon/orange/raspberry dressing on the top and serve cold.
