Nettles are loaded with nutrients are (rich in iron, silicon, and potassium and very high in vitamins A and C). Cooking quickly denatures the sting. They grow in abundance and seem to me to be an irresistable gift from nature. I felt a pull within to try stir frying some nettles for dinner last night! And to my surprise they were amazing.
I heated up some olive oil (in a regular cooking pan, since we don't have a frying pan or a wok) and then placed in a whole pan full of young nettle leaves freshly gathered from the bottom of our garden... along with several mushrooms (thickly sliced). The nettles reduced down almost instantly and within a few minutes, the dish was ready to eat. I mixed in a dessert spoon full of tamari (shoyu or soya sauce will do), and served along with dinner. My family loved it! Nettles are one of those things that you either love (and can't get enough of) or you don't care for, but you'll never know until you try. Warmly

My husband drinks nettle tea most days too.
