Just a bit of history.
  • This plant came to us in Europe from Northern Asia.
  • It possesses many qualities: first of all it is low in calories (25 calories per 3.5 oz (100g)) it is very rich in Potassium, Magnesium, and vitamin C.
  • Since among other things it pairs very well with eggs, I propose therefore to mix it today with Mallow *so that you can serve your guests.....
  • an omelette as indulgent as you wish.
  • *Mallow is a plant resembling somewhat a water lily everything can be eaten in leaves or flowers, highly prized in Southern countries (multiple preparations in salads and in all sorts of hot recipes, herbal teas etc) we have a bed of it in our shared garden located in the Paris region, and since people don't know about it they don't use it. Omelette with Mallow and Sorrel for 2 people:
  • 4 free-range eggs
  • 4 leaves of Mallow* well washed with the central stem removed
  • 3.5 oz (100g) of sorrel trimmed and well washed
  • 0.5 cup (12 cl) of liquid cream 30%
  • 1.4 oz (40g) of hazelnuts crushed and toasted
  • fine butter
  • salt and a pinch of ras el hanout
