Nettle risotto

Yes, you read that title right – dinner tonight was nettle risotto! And very nice it was, too, made all the nicer by the fact that we were taking our revenge on the nettles that try to take over the end of our garden and sting us and our children given half a chance :-) I can heartily recommend it, BTW. Nothing too adventurous, flavour-wise: the taste was basically “green”, with enough of a distinct flavour to be worth it. It’s the gathering and cooking that take a little care. Rubber gloves definitely recommended while picking, washing and chopping :-.
