If like us in Kerrouet your garden is awash with nasturtiums at the moment, you should try making some nasturtium vinegar! It has a powerful peppery flavour that is wonderful in salad dressings or sauces. Of course nasturtiums are great used just as they are in a whole range of salads and desserts and we often use them to decorate dishes. The peppery taste combines particularly well with goats cheese. For the vinegar the whole flower and leaf may be used and it is a very simple process.
You will need:
1 cup nasturtium leaves, flowers, and buds
1 bottle of dry white wine vinegar
Method:
Place the ingredients in a clean clear glass bottle. Tightly seal. Let sit for at least 3 weeks before using. Place a new nasturtium in the finished bottle for decoration, but make sure the vinegar always covers the flowers.
