Have you tried pan searing it with bacon grease? I haven't. That's really the only way I like kale. Also, when trying different preperation, keep tasting as you cook so you know how long to cook it. I like my hotdogs burnt black. I like green beans cooked to a dark caramel stage. Give it a try. The younger the plant the less bitter.
@@pamelasmith7740 I have not specifically used bacon grease that I can recall. I do usually harvest the early spring rosettes because they are one of the first plants to emerge after winter. I will try it out next year when the plant is on season again
I learned a lot in just 20 minutes. I am interested in foraging, just a little nervous to take that first step. Seeing you so casual about it makes me more confident, thanks! I'm from central Indiana myself and I have a state forestry that I visit pretty often not 10 minutes away. I'm going to see if they allow foraging.
Hey! Love your videos! I’m from Indiana too! I live kind of between Muncie and Anderson. I just got into foraging plants and finding the edible ones but also the medicinal ones. I’ve been making a lot of salves and tinctures and I just harvested a bunch of garlic mustard the other day. It’s excellent for helping heal wounds, rashes, bug bites, sunburns, etc... but I infused it with avocado oil and coconut oil and did the same thing with stinging nettle, and I used those two oils to make a pain salve that will also help heal the skin. I did watch a video where one lady made a stir fry with the garlic mustard in it and said it was delicious! So maybe with like chicken, veggies, some other seasonings, and some sauces, over rice..... it might not be too bad? Lol!
Thats great, thank you! I have not gotten into the tinctures yet, I make a lot of teas from mushrooms like reishi, etc... I have a lot of experience with burning nettle as well... it is actually delicious. Have you tried it? It makes a great tea as well, has the side effect of suppressing allergies but the results are short lived. About 45 minutes in my experience. A tincture might be more potent and longer lasting I would guess
@@reliablyrandomoutdoors I have not tried that! But I’m definitely going to. Might be perfect to help you fall asleep if your having pain and can’t sleep because of it. Or at least take the edge off and give some relief. I’m really enjoying getting out and finding delicious food and also finding some pretty amazing medicines. I’m going to my brothers to get some cleavers, chickweed, and curly dock tomorrow. 😬😬😬
@@meagangarrett1487 Curly Dock is Wonderful... I canned it last year. i got so busy fishing this spring though I missed getting it in large quantity before it went to seed. It has a citrus like flavor and the stalk can be cooked a lot like asparagus. It is totally under rated. You might still find some morels too, though its a little late. for them now. Good luck, let me know how it goes.
@@reliablyrandomoutdoors you are so right! Curly dock is amazing and completely under rated! I ended up drying some cleavers, chickweed, and plantain that is now infusing in oil for salve. I also made tinctures out of cleavers, chickweed, plantain, shepherds purse, and red clover. They’ll be ready in 6-8 weeks. All from a one day harvest! They are growing thick here. Hows the fishing going? My husband and I are going camping and fishing in a few weeks and I’m so excited!
@@meagangarrett1487 Thats Awesome. I have not fished as much this last week... I was just in the mood to be in the woods i guess. Have you had Purslane? It is the pinnacle of all edible wild plants if you ask me. Where are you guys going to fish? just curious. I am pickling some Shad right now.... if it turns out good I am going to make a video on it.
make any wife smile! good job. your house looks well lived in... do you like all your "toys" splayed out everywhere or do you prefer it clean? do you feel cleaning certain things up takes away from life being lived to the fullest?
Interesting. They come back every year in my garden on their own. Not sure how they would do in the woods being the sun lovers that they are. Cherry tomatoes seem to be the most aggressive at seeding themselves for what it’s worth
Hey man, I'm new to foraging and am making a group of some friends and neighbors to go out and learn how to identify and harvest wild foods and medicines in Greene county IN. I'd love to be able to have a chat with you on how to orchestrate this, I'm by no means a professional botanist or anything but I love learning and teaching!
Thank you very much. I have a very basic dehydrator, so no temp settings. I ran it about 10 hours total but rotated and stirred them about half way through. my machine does run a little on the hot side so probably a longer period on a lower setting would have been preferred if I had the machine to do it.
Does Garlic Mustard taste like Kale? 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢 I can't eat Kale raw. I have to cook it. I remeber i tried to eat it in a salad, and i gagged! Ugh, i ate a good amount, while gagging. Lol. At the end, i was over it! I did good in my opinion. I got enough down! 😂😂😂😂😂
I wouldn’t say it tastes like Kale exactly…. Personally would say kale is a fair bit more pleasant…. The best description I can think for garlic mustard is it tastes a bit Grassy,
Really, because I have found that the rubber consistency is impervious to slow cooking.... could be regional differences in consistency or something, but I stuck them in a pressure canner for 45 minutes once, soaked them in acid, and everything under the sun, and other than grinding them into a powder or eating them young the ones we have around here are like eating a redwing boot LOL... of course unless they are still stump shaped on the tree. I have found slicing them super thin and cooking them to a crisp was another way to make em pretty tasty though
Howdy! let me if anyone knows how to prepare that Garlic Mustard so it is enjoyable to eat. I have been searching for a way to eat that one for years.
Not a clue. Sorry
Have you tried pan searing it with bacon grease?
I haven't.
That's really the only way I like kale.

Give it a try.
The younger the plant the less bitter.

Well if not to eat make a good medicine tincture with alcohol. For countless medicinal properties.
Hang on door keep vampires away. Maybe

Well thank you very much! I love making the vids. Let me know if there are any topics you would like to see covered.
Thank you man. I really appreciate this kind of wisdom
Wild onions in a big pot of beans... so good!
Tender young raw in sm amounts in salads. Very good for digestion.
Thanks I’m just learning lot of good info
The cutting onions time-lapse was satisfying.
I had a feeling you would like that part! :)
3:04 do i see Cleavers by the onions? 🧐 very medicinal! Good for kidneys, liver and the lymphatic system.
Yes they grow all over those woods! Another great wild edible!
Lmaooooo my sister and i cooked some in a pot of grits yesterday. It was so good!

Glad you enjoyed the video. almost all allow mushroom hunting and nut collecting, some of them are funny about harvesting plants.
Slice the dryad saddle in thin strips and fry in hot grease
till crispy?

It’s kid if like the tide…. We clean it all up but it seems to come right back 😂 LOL.
I’m wanting to put some tomatoes out in the woods where I’m at so that way they’ll come back every year.

I’m game, shoot me your contact info at albackfish@gmail.com and I will give ya a call tomorrow
sounds awesome, I'm close to Greene County
What did you set your dehydrator to? And how long did it take you to dehydrate them? 24 hrs? Great video. Thanks.
Thank you very much. I have a very basic dehydrator, so no temp settings. I ran it about 10 hours total but rotated and stirred them about half way through. my machine does run a little on the hot side so probably a longer period on a lower setting would have been preferred if I had the machine to do it.
So what do you do with those dehydrated onions? Do you grind them into a powder and just use them like any other onion powder?
They are more like an onion chive than onion powder. So anything u would use onion chive in these would substitute well

Man I think the pheasant backs you found where perfect to eat, you have to coot it long and slow. Delicious.
