Berbere-Grilled New Potatoes with Stinging Nettle Pesto and Charred Spring Peas
Stinging nettles in a pesto sounds like a provocation, and honestly it is. Blanched into harmlessness and blitzed with tej honey and lemon, they make a bright, mineral-edged sauce that slots surprisingly well against a berbere spice crust, because the two share the same grassy, herbal frequencies. Blistered spring peas keep things from getting too serious.
Stinging Nettle & Walnut Pkhali Bites with Pomegranate and Wild Herb Oil
Pkhali is Georgia's answer to a question nobody else thought to ask: what if blanched greens and raw walnuts became something that tastes genuinely magical? This version uses stinging nettles, whose formic acid gets neutralized by blanching, leaving behind a deep, almost meaty minerality that pairs beautifully with walnut's bitter tannins and pomegranate's bright punch. The wild herb oil isn't garnish. It's the bridge that makes the whole weird thing work.
