Beach mustard: a foraged green to spice things up!

To all the people who love some spice in their lives, this one is for you. Beach mustard is a wild green that commonly grows on sand dunes and beaches in most of the coastal areas of Australia. This wild plant has a remarkable spicy-salty taste and is easy to spot due to its resemblance to a succulent rocket plant.

Nettle: versatile plant and delicious ingredient.

An Aboriginal friend of mine taught me a great camping hack with nettle. You collect the plant, stalk and all (use gloves or a rolled-up shirt) and place the branches on stones near a fire. They will cook in the heat, neutralising the sting and turning into excellent nettle chips. All you need is nettle, fire, and salt.
