Nettle Risotto Recipe

Collect young nettle tops (wear gloves!)
Put kettle on to boil.

Dice a little bacon and an onion - I used a newspaper as a cutting board, and disposed of it in the fire - no washing up.

Heat pan on fire, toss in onion and bacon, a splash of olive oil and garlic. Stir until it sizzles.

Add rice, stir until coated with oil.
Add boiling water to cover to a depth of one finger width (approx). Add salt and nettles.

Clap on lid, and move to trivet in front on fire for 10 minutes.

Stir, add butter and pepper.

Eat.
