Jocelyn Campbell of http://www.jocelynsevents.com makes a nettle lasagna. It's a lot like other lasagna, but the hamburger is replaced with stinging nettles. I thought it was an excellent lasagna. The best part is that a picky 15 year old eats the nettle lasagna.

Jocleyn starts off showing how to harvest some nettles for the lasagna.

The layers in the lasagna recipe (starting at the bottom): sauce, gluten free lasagna noodles, nettles, ricotta, mozerella, parmesan, more sauce (with shitake mushrooms), lasagna noodles, ricotta, mozerella, lasagna noodles, sauce, parmesan on top.

This turns out to be a vegetarian lasagna.

Jocelyn explains that the cooking time for the whole lasagna is 30 minutes and that she takes back the foil a few minutes before the end.

Just one layer of nettles in the lasagna this time. A previous lasagna had two layers.

Some friends come over for dinner and express their comments on the lasagna.

Never to late to learn new things... we have lots of these in our timber... and where we had sheep manure... rich soil, high nitrogen indicator plant... definitely wear gloves and pants or you will be etching forever... Mississippi River Islands are covered with these in understory ... Monte
