I now have nettle burgers to add to my lexicon of favourite nettle recipes (which also includes nettle pesto, nettle pizza, and nettle spanakopita!).

Nettle spanakopita recipe

Nettle Spanakopita

One of my favourite all time uses for foraged nettles is this recipe for nettle spanakopita. This Greek filo pie is traditionally made with spinach, but we’ve used nettles which work amazingly well here. To make this spanakopita you’ll need quite a lot of nettles, so involve your friends in the picking if you can, …
