He collects them, and I pick him, or better, his stories! 🙂
Today we speak of Silene and Hops. Pronti your!
A few days ago I saw the photographs of the harvest Splendor made for turning fields into her beautiful Austria. Being both passionate about herbs every opportunity we can to talk and to eat them ...! 😉 Con la bella stagione poi, walk through the woods is good and useful. Besides do well to physical, walking is good for the heart, the mind, and the wallet ...!
Cynthia: Splendor, hello! I saw that you went to passeggiar for fields Lobau, but where there is?
Splendor: Ah ah ah, hello Cinzia! The area of Lobau is a Nature Park linked to the Danube, beautiful area with unspoilt nature.
Cynthia: How beautiful! And tell me, what you have collected?
Splendor: Aow I'm telling you. Today I picked up a little’ campion and a little’ Hop. In Italy the Silene is also known by yourmine of stridoli, Sgrigiui or in our dialect of Mantua. (For those who do not know me and we both Fausto land of Mantua). The Hops instead is known by many with the term bruscandolo.
Cynthia: I is watering just looking at them! With Maand prepari?
Splendor: In addition to eating them as such as it does with spinach, both the silene that hops are great ingredients for risotto and frittatas.
Cynthia: Splendor, can you give me some advice on where to go to pick them up…
Splendor: Cynthia, I would say that you can go to any place of the country clean and healthy. The Silene find it even in the mountains. The Hops it is present in all ripe to ditch in northern Italy. But be careful, when the silene goes to flower the leaves of the leg become leathery and are no longer good.
Cynthia: Interesting! Sai, Now that I think about it, I remember that not long ago my aunt Nadia has collected just bruscandoli of my Lorenzaga of Motta di Livenza in Treviso. Knowing how much I like the herbs of the field, that night has seen fit to cook a delicious omelet making!
Add lastly, but not least, that both the Silene that Hops are herbs from calming and relaxing properties. A tea made from these herbs promotes sleep, e tranquility. 😉
