Forest Finds

Goosefoot, conecap, smooth sumac, aphids, and other stuff (lmk if you can help ID the non-clover plants in the last pic!) in the forest throughout July, 2025

Bit of sumac with Pasta Aglio e Olio really brightens up the dish. I add it at the end and it complements the whole thing really well.

Bayou Blend “Citrus” Tea

All of these plants are found in a little bend on the bayou where I harvested the yarrow stalks I’ve been using in my I Ching explorations. The blackberry leaves form a solid base, the elder lends floral notes, the shiso an herbal spiciness and the sumac the “citrus” pop. I enjoyed it with a dab of honey.

Ingredients:

1 tsp dried blackberry leaves

1 tsp dried elderflower

1/2 tsp dried shiso

Pinch powdered sumac berry

Directions:

Steep 10 minutes

I’ve been making a lot of medicinal teas and decided to start experimenting with some blends purely for taste and aroma.

Anybody else out there exploring bioregional herbal tea blends? 😊

Note: the pictured sumac isn’t ripe yet. The sumac I used was from last year’s harvest.

This recipe is meant to document my own research and is intended as inspiration; even though I created this tea for pleasure the individual herbs are used in medicinal teas. I always respect the plants I work with and do research to make sure they are not harmful in combination with any prescription or otc medications I take or with my medical conditions and/or allergies. If you are foraging your plants, do not use unless you are 100% sure of your identification.

Spicy chickpeas with sumac are a tasty and crunchy side dish that goes well with many main dishes. Because this recipe is both kosher and vegan, it can be used by a lot of people with different dietary needs.

Ingredients: 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed. 2 tablespoons olive oil. 2 teaspoons ground sumac. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon paprika. Salt to taste. Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400F 200C. In a large bowl, toss chickpeas with olive oil, sumac, cumin, paprika, and salt until evenly coated. Spread chickpeas in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chickpeas are crispy and golden brown, shaking the pan halfway through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley before serving.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes
