Sorrel: The Long Forgotten Taste of Spring

Once a common ingredient in soups, stews and salads, sorrel has somewhat fallen out of favour in modern times. Such a shame says Hugh FW in Friday's Guardian, it's, "startlingly, puckeringly sour and lemony, but with a wonderful lightness: it tastes green, it tastes of spring". Pair it with oily fish, sprinkle of classic egg dishes or simply stir it into a new potato salad. Hugh has been championing sorrel since this piece in 2008, hopefully it will now start to catch on!
