Provided by Chef Joey Z.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 large bunch nettles (cleaned and steamed)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 large sweet onion (diced)
2 large garlic cloves (pressed)
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (fresh ground)
juice of one lime
salt and pepper (to taste)
1/4 cup romano cheese (grated)

Steps:

Steam the nettle in a large pot for about 4-5 minutes. Save the liquid for soup or stews, or drink it, it's very nutritious.
Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick fry pan and saute the onion and garlic on medium low. Don't scorch the garlic, that will alter the flavour.
When the onion is transparent add the lime juice and stir, turn down low.
Add the steamed nettle and grate the nutmeg over top.
Add the salt and pepper and taste your dish. Adjust seasonings if necessary.
Remove from fry pan onto a nice serving dish and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
I served mine with the garlic toast.
Bon Appetit!
