It is fascinating to discover that the ‘ordinary’ weed growing along the roads and in our backyard actually has a medicinal effect. Sow Thistle is the one that I looked into and even have a receipt for where.

(1/2 ounce) parsley
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
2 teaspoons Korean red chili flakes
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Soak the hazelnuts in boiling water for one hour. Strain and rinse afterward.
at the same time soak the sow thistle leaves in cold water for one hour. Remove the leaf blades from the larger leaves and throw away the stalks.
Crush the garlic cloves and let sit for 15 minutes.
Add the hazelnuts, sow thistle, parsley, garlic, salt, olive oil and chili flakes in a food processor. Run the processor until all ingredients are chopped and mixed up. Don’t let the food become runny.
Chop the tomatoes and place the sow thistle mixture in a bowl. Fork the tomatoes through the processed sow thistle.
ready to be served.
