Join me on my latest appearance on the Harvesting Nature Podcast where we chat canning, pickling, and preserving wild game, fish, and edibles.
Tonight we are joined by Adam Berkelmans from The Intrepid Eater to discuss how he crafts some absolutely amazing meals from the meat and vegetables he sources in the wild.
Lamb’s quarters chochoyotes are traditional Mexican masa dumplings made with lamb’s quarter quelites, and served in a spicy ancho chili sauce.
These frijoles y quelites with lamb’s quarters are my take on a Mexican wild greens and beans dish. Lamb’s quarters work great, but you could use any wild green!
Hunting for morels can be very fun and satisfying. Join the Intrepid Eater as he comes upon a nice haul of the delicious spring mushrooms!
These dandelion and onion bhaji are the perfect wild twist on an Indian restaurant classic. Dandelion flowers, leaves, and onions get battered and fried.

There are many ways to preserve mushrooms, but this one may be the easiest. This sauce stays good in the fridge for months, and can be used on any number of things.
This special technique comes from Wicked Healthy (check out wickedhealthyfood.com for more amazing vegetarian recipes!) with a couple small flourishes of my own. By brining and pressing the mushroom, you end up with an extra meaty texture.
Kake Soba is a basic Japanese recipe for soy, mirin, and dashi broth poured over cooked soba noodles. In this recipe, lightly inspired by a Bon Appétit recipe, the broth gets simplified and the soup is topped with crispy and meaty Maitake mushrooms and an assortment of crunchy and spicy accoutrements.
