Bracken sprouts
Bracken sprouts are well known wild vegetable in Japan. Generally, salted or boild in brine products are sold, but by the time you cook them in your kitchen, most flavour and texture has been lost.
These fresh braken sprouts are lightly boild immediately and cooked in light dashi-soup and have full flavour and texture. The texture is quite similar to the Asperge Sauvage (French wild asparagus).
This is Aleutian ragwort which is not so well known wild-veg. The stalk and leaves have delicate aroma.
Boild and skin peeled off.
