Recipe: Mushroom quiche with pennyroyal

Savory pies and pizza with herbs
January 27, 2011


PennyroyalI planted pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) during fall, mostly because I didn't want to wait to try it. It sprouted and within a few months I started to harvest its tiny leaves with a delicate and wild aroma.


Like other mint varieties, pennyroyal can be harvested even during the winter, and gives a touch of summer freshness to your dishes.

Ciao, mi piace molto la tua ricetta! Adoro la mentuccia e prima o poi dovrò decidermi a coltivarmela da sola, visto che si trova poco in giro. Proprio la scorsa settimana ho fatto i bucatini ( alla romana ) con mentuccia e pecorino...e i prossimi giorni li posterò! :-)
complimenti xchè il tuo blog sulle erbe è interessante very peculiar! A presto!

grazie di aver partecipato, sono davvero contentissima.
sono un po invidiosa della tua mentuccia, per curiosità tu semini con la luna piena?
baciusss

Amo collezionare varietà di erbe aromatiche e la mentuccia finora mi mancava. L ho seminata a Ottobre in luna crescente in grande quantità perché pensavo che ormai facesse troppo freddo invece è germogliata e cresciuta benissimo, anche ora a Febbraio ho moltissime piccole piantine strapiene di foglie fresche.
