Every week, at the end of Market Meals, we put out the call: Let us know if you\u2019re looking for a recipe featuring a specific seasonal produce item.<\/p>\n

When we were asked for ideas on how to use sorrel, we were immediately up for the challenge.<\/p>\n

Sorrel is a leafy green herb with a bright, tangy, lemony flavor. It is delicious mixed into salads, used as a garnish or cooked into soups. If your garden is producing an abundance, we have a recipe that uses bunches of sorrel.<\/p>\n

The classic use of freshly picked sorrel is in French sorrel soup, a simple dish that highlights the green\u2019s signature tartness. It can be served warm or chilled, making it equally suited to a cool spring evening or a hot summer afternoon.<\/p>\n

Sorrel can also be added to sauces for chicken or fish dishes, substituted for spinach in many recipes, or blended into a pesto with walnuts or pine nuts for pasta dishes.<\/p>\n
