I usually dry my nettles in my food dehydrator then turn them into a power and put them in a blender with bananas avocado's and moringa powder with oat milk. That shake alone has all the vitamins and healthy fats you need, rich in iron and vitamin k, potassium. The bananas give the shake its sweetness.

I love this farm to table phase of your channel now 🙂

This man just living his best life ❤

Your channel is better quality than most TV programmes!!

When I was training as a chef we had a chef who was 80 years old. He use to tell us that when he was a trainee they put raw stinging nettles into salad. As a 17 year old I just thought either red dead nettles or you put the nettles in hot water for a moment he always said no but didn’t tell me how to prepare them but about 2 years ago I discovered the secret. You put the nettles flat in a paper bag and carefully roll a rolling pin over them. Then they can be eaten raw, must admit I haven’t tried it yet but I’m sure some one out there has. Ps I’m now 70 so we talking over 100 year to when he was a trainee

The plant based options in restaurants is so disappointing, we cook such incredible meals at home and they’re all surprisingly easy. Chefs out in the wild clearly just don’t care or are too lazy.

I love nettle! You can use them to make red bean or chickpea patties/burgers. You add them chopped up in the patty mixture along with the other ingredients and they add such a nice flavor and aesthetic. 🌿Also, when you just soak them in water for a while they significantly lose the sting as well...Thank you for this recipe and video Gaz, I appreciate your content. :)

Actually, I immediately hit the video for the recipe cause my hubby has a bad hay fever this year. But now I’m totally gonna get him that outfit too OMG. Don’t know if it’s scientifically validated but I think stinging nettles could really help. My great grandparents always collected them and made not only tea or salad but also soup out of it. They never had any allergies.

I love your style and home decor

Oh my god, that looks soooo good. That green sauce plus the whipped tahini yogurt topping, mamma mia!!🤌💋

Drinking more water and staying hydrated is so important for any type of allergy, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪

Mmmm thank you for sharing your passion

Your videos are becoming my comfort at the end of a long day Gaz, really loving the constant information im learning. Risotto looks delicious 😃 my daughter also loves your changing style, which is sweet haha 🌿

In Italy a Risotto made out of Barley it's called Orzotto. Riso (Rice) -> Orzo (Barley)

going to make this for tomorrow's dinner, thank you gaz, you are wonderful as always!

That dish looked so beautiful!

So happy with all these new videos ❤

Stinging nettles I bet

I just can't get over how AMAZING your kitchen is

Sounds delicious ❤

so great! as always Gaz!! TY

a tip for harvesting nettles without gloves @GazOakley is to lift from the bottom upwards, as the stingers are pointed upwards you get stung if you go downwards into them but not vice versa, give it a try, ive harvested many nettles like that and rarely get stung.

I have a huge patch of stinging nettles in my backyard. The neighbour sprays his with weed killer, just like his dandelions. I eat mine and the dandelions as well.

The colours and light in your kitchen are so beautiful…. feels so right and goooood….yum yum yummy food…🍀☀️💚

❤ beautiful recipe! Definitely gonna try it. I am growing nettle in a big pot in my urban garden and a secret to have it all season is to always pick up top leaves, in this way it helps a plant to go bushy and prevents early flowering. I am using raw nettle leaves in my smoothies, once blended no stinging sensation, pick it always with my bare hands because I love it, totally working on seasonal pollen allergies specially as a tea and tincture. Seeds are also very nutritional, real superfood - in past, they fed old horses with nettle seeds and they rejuvenated looking younger for sale, I believe it works with us too :)

This looks 🔥!!!!!! GOOD SHIT GAZ

The risotto looked incredible, but I think we can draw the line at harvesting nettles by bare hand in the modern day.

Wonderful as usual 💚🌱🤤

ooooh, I need this recipe in a book and loads of similar ones.... love your creativity in cooking

Thanks for your wonderful films ❤

Looking forward to trying this. Thank you for the inspiration!

Nettles seem to be one of the most underrated ingredients! I’ve seen so much of them recently in so many different uses, it’s good to see 🌱

Perfection!

If you like pearl barley risotto, you should try making risotto with oats! Such a nice texture. I've made it with dried tomatoes and it was beautiful

No, the porcine mushrooms are coming from Bulgaria 80% s. But they sell them as Italian. I've been working in such a cleaing company which ships all her mushrooms for Italy

Ahhhh Wales in the morning… nice to travel while NOT actually getting on a plane and all that hassle! I love to just watch and listen and enjoy your videos where we can see the veggies and the hills and sheep behind you and oh those lovely chickens! They are so sweet as they follow you. I am super excited about this recipe as I have been pondering how the CAFÉ ROYAL in Edinburgh made the green pea and mint barley risotto I ordered last fall when I was over for a visit. I can see more clearly now….. will have a go with your recipe first and then go have a kitchen adventure! Thank you for all of your work and the laughs I get watching. Love the bloopers and the comments…. Romans. Nutters.. 😂😂😂😂 I have yet to brave the nettles though….❤

I never cook with barley but saw it on sale at the store yesterday and picked some up - it was meant to be I guess! Thanks for the inspiration ❤

I love your videos. So artfully done

Looks amazing, my kids will love it!

That looked delicious. I learnt this week that you can put your coffee grounds onto your plants, apparently it will do them good, who knew?

and not just mushrooms but also bluberies, blackberries etc

Great vid!

I was hiking the other day and saw some stinging nettles and totally wanted to harvest them because they are not readily available where I live. Will have to go back and get some :)

Really love your vlogs Gaz. If you don't mind my asking, what make is your olive oil?, looks delicious. Your garden is just beautiful and your hens look so happy.

I made nettle tea for my veggies too and you're not wrong about the smell!

Tahnk you

That risotto looks absolutely stonkin'

If you dont like the texture of nettles, try using risotto rice. It makes it veeeery creamy and balances out the stinginess of the nettle. I promise you wont even notice the nettle in it.

Sounds yummy. I don't think I can find that in my area so I would just use spinach or kale.

love u so much!!!

Add in a handful of local mycelial leaf mulch to that nettle tea fertilizer , it takes it to the next level, our garden is loving it. This is a technique I learnt from JADAM organic farming knowledge system if you want to research further.🌱🙏🏾

Top of the leaves dont sting everyone! You still need a way to prepare them but if you "pinch" the top of the leaf and fold it in half from the top... no pain!

Hi Gaz..another great video...totally love it!!!one question if you don't mind...for how long you live the stinging nettles to make that nettle fertiliser..... i think i left mine for too long....

How long until Gaz starts speaking in a French accent to complete the aesthetic 😂

О, прикольно, блюдо из крапивы. Я ещё видел из одуванчика тоже готовят различные блюда, он и полезен к тому же. И в бочку с крапивой его тоже можно добавлять для удобрения/подкормки растений. И ещё туда же добавь старое забродившее варенье. Ну, и сама съёмка на улице на природе добавляет смотрительности к видео

Nettle pesto could be great too!

🤗💚💚💚🌿✨️ Love it Gaz!🙏🏽✨️ Education, aesthetic, arty & comforting winwinwin🎉

nettles are the best thing in stews and esp for women as they contain a lot of iron

Hey gaz, where can I find your workout routine/regimine?

He’s perfect

Gaz can you make this for me? OMG it looks so delicious. I will trek from Brooklyn for it.😊

Amazing video as always. Can someone tell me Gaz’s trouser brand name. They’re amazing.

unsalted food is the literal bane of my existence!!! 😆

I have a Lomi, and what my machine cranks out I use on the flower beds and lawn...

Really nice! What plant protein would be fitting with this?

You just have to rub them with your foot on the ground, takes the needles down then you can harvest them with hands

Soooo many nutrients n mineralz in nettlez... curez UTIz too!

What can I use instead of barley. I’m allergic to it. Love the new kitchen Thank you 💚🙏🏼

I was graving raw barley and bnettles the last fays after tryingbthe nettle muffins - coincidence? ❤😅

It's worst when stinging needles is touched with water , it was used as a punishment back in the days in Nepal.

RIP to the snail in the nettle tea bucket @11:32 🪦😂

Gaz I love u

Lol, you with your stinging nettles, you’ll have to put on long sleeves and gloves to find your scissors. The mushroom barley risotto or mushroom barlotto seemed interesting, it looked almost like it would taste like pesto. It may also be good with peas or small broccoli florets. It might also go good with a balanced white wine for a summer type meal for those who would drink wine. I’m still laughing thinking about Romans rubbing stinging nettles all over. Your chickens look like they are doing great and they are also excited to see you which is good.

You might want to try using gardening gloves especially for situations like these lol

When will the Che Guevarra jokes start?

💚💚

The best natural fertilizers usually smell the worst lol

This guy’s healthy whhaayze are outmatched only by his impassioned earthy, ethereal British accent😂

Commenting for the algorithm

Have you seen this video on making soap from pineapple waste? I know you normally make food recipes but I wonder if you would consider exploring this in the future: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rJ6BoaVm1p_Fd6M.htmlsi=cQwDrM0yhhLcZ_Ce I have a LOT of nettle in my yard this year with a very delicate, almost translucent white flower with yellow centers but the leaves are different than your nettle...I'm scared to try using it bc I've been so strongly cautioned that it is poisonous. Eek. I need to find out what the difference is for sure. Great cooking!

You had me up until the picky bushes lol can you replace that with something else?

Two majorly undervalued ingredients together. Pearl barley and stinging nettles. I'm sure the Porcini gives it a great depth of flavor. I'll be giving this a go for sure. Cheers!

A few weeks? I let mine ferment in the bucket for like 6 months and then it doesn't smell so bad.

Nettle and water no longer than 3 days, can be used also as a pesticide. After a few weeks that stinks kilometers away 😂

An orzotto!

What is the item you burn in Your kitchen some sort of incense

💫💫💫💫

😘😘😘😘😘😘

With that hat you look like a Cuban , I love it 🥰

💙💛💚☺👍

Yeah I'm here 1st😂

To get rid of hay fever you have to do the parasite cleanse :) that’s forever goodbye

Thank you so much My little ones love tea and foraging so they’re excited to see if the nettle helps with their allergies 🤧 🫶 MerLove & Meressings 🧜🏼‍♀️🫶

You are so fly… cultivated to a T 🤌🏾
