Red clover bread?

Yes, dried red clover flowers make a sweet, nutty "flour" that adds calcium and a host of other nutrients to the bread. I promise to take a photo of the bread when it is finished.

Saturday's menu for the June Truly Wild class at Heaven Hill will include:

  • Red Clover Bread-Unbleached locally milled flour, honey, yeast, water and a smidgen of salt. *Smidgen is less then shake or two and more then a pinch. This is bread at it's most simple form. Delicious! The recipe will follow....
  • Salad- Sheep sorrel, wood sorrel, wild pansies, lambs quarters,heals all, chickweed, daisy leaves, purslane, red clover flowers,  fresh spinach and lettuce from my very organic garden. There will also be some thistle celery and cattail in this wild mixture! The salad dressing is strawberry vinaigrette made from spray-free local strawberries, honey from hives in Gabriels and balsamic vinegar. The balsamic vinegar is the only item in the salad that isn't from the "wild".
  • Simply Stir Fry- Cattail, lambs quarters, wild garlic and whatever else we find on Heaven Hill Farm!
  • Momma Nature's Choice Stew- You guessed it. This stew/thick soup will have everything that can be used as a pot-herb and is available this time of the year. The only seasoning will be herbs from Momma Nature. It is all stewed in a free-range chicken broth. I will also add homemade pasta made from lambs quarters. This stew isn't pretty but is always healthy, delicious and never has left-overs.
  • Herbal Iced Tea- Yup, the theme is Red Clover again. Red clover, mullein and a hint of mint. Herbalists swear the this tea will clear you sinuses and relieve the allergy symptoms that seem to be plaguing people this year. I know that it is tasty!
