Chilled Almond Milk and Reedmace Shoot Soup RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Tradition |
|
To harvest reedmace shoots, select the largest shoots that haven't begun to flower (best done in late May or early June) then use both hands to separate the outer leaves from the core, going all the way to the base of the plant. Grab the inner core with both hands, as close to the base as possible, and pull it out. Peel and discard the outermost layers of leaves from the top down, until you reach the edible part, which is soft enough to pinch through with your thumbnail (note that you will need to peel more layers from the top of the plant). You will have less waste if you do this in the wild, but preparing the shoots will cover your hands with a sticky, mucilaginous jelly that you need to scrape off. However, if you do this at home you can collect the jelly and use it, okra style, as a thickener for stews. If you pick the shoots just before they flower then almost the whole shoot is edible (not just the base) and a few shoots will be enough for this dish Ingredients
