Wild Nettle Gomashio (Gomasio)
Ingredients
- 1 cup hulled sesame seeds
- 1 loose handful dried nettle leaves
- 3 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
Instructions
- Toast the sesame seeds for 2-3 minutes in a dry pan on the stove top until they start to turn golden and smell fragrant. Allow to cool. In food processor, mix toasted sesame seeds, nettle leaves, and sea salt. Blend until nettle leaves are crumbled. Store in an airtight container, and freeze what you won’t use up quickly. You can sprinkle gomashio on just about anything. I love it in stir fry, on rice, and especially on wild Alaska salmon. First published in the Spring 2017 issue of Edible Alaska.
