dill, sorrel & thyme

Sorrel:
Sorrel is an herb/ leaf vegetable (depending on how you use it). Sorrel leaves have a lemon/ kiwi-like flavor that is delicious in any salad, soup or stew or used in egg dishes such as quiche asparagus sorrel tart! (Just an idea!). It's great in fish or chicken marinades as well... use it in anything savory that you would squeeze a lemon in.

Quick Pressure Cooker Sorrel Ginger Chicken Recipe:
1. Brine (soak in salt water) 6 chicken thighs for at least an hour.
2. Clean and chop:
A bunch of sorrel (stems and all)
few sprigs of thyme
1 1/2 to 2 inches of ginger
Some Garlic Scapes
few stalks of celery

3. Brown chicken then layer with the veggies in a pressure cooker.

4. Add some red pepper flakes about 1/3 cup water / broth / or diluted brine.

5. Cook for 8 minutes at full pressure.

Allow pressure cooker to cool to remove lid and immediately and serve over brown rice.
