Frijoles y Quelites with Lamb’s Quarters
Instructions
Prep:10minCook:20min
Quelites are a group of wild greens used in Mexican cooking. Lamb’s quarters, aka goosefoot, are often used in quelites dishes and cook down similarly to spinach, nettle, or other wild greens. The flavour is nice and mild making it great for people getting into wild edibles. It can be found in disturbed soil all over North America. I get a lot of it coming up as weeds in my vegetable garden every year. I simply let it grow large, then harvest it like any other vegetable. This dish makes for a great supper on its own, but can also play wingman to any other Mexican main dish, whether it’s some form of tacos, or meat/fish with rice. If you can’t find any lamb’s quarters or other wild greens, feel free to substitute spinach.
