  • 500 g goutweed
  • 1 shallot
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 100 ml cream
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • some flour
  • salt
  • pepper
  • nutmeg

Giersch spinach tastes extremely delicious with fried potatoes and eggs or as a pasta sauce.

tips

Only collect wild herbs away from busy roads so that the plants are not polluted by exhaust fumes. You should also make sure that the collection area is not on a popular "walking route".
