a little help here?

So we have a whole lot of sorrel in the garden right now. What should I do with it? Put it in a mouth-puckering salad? Cook it? How?

I've been eating it in mixed green salads, with radishes and/or cucumbers and/or goat cheese. (I wouldn't put too much of it in at once; it's supposed to be a laxative in large quantities.)

I've also put some into a tzatziki to eat with lamb burgers, and that was fantastic.

Joy of Cooking also recommends a chiffonade of sorrel in soups. I haven't tried that yet, but I bet it would be excellent in a ministrini, or as a garnish to a potato soup or a green pea soup.

Oooh! Oooh! I was going to make a turkey meatloaf tomorrow anyway! I could leave out the dried-tomato topping and do a kind of Greek-yoghurt-and-sorrel sauce! Mmm!

Thank you!

I have been on a major meatloaf kick (I always use half turkey and half turkey sausage, with oatmeal for binder). I made a bunch of freezeable food for Leit while I was there, and then came home and made two more loaves for me. It's so fulfilling, somehow.

Best accompaniment of this series was whole wheat couscous with sauteed mushrooms and spinach.
