Hogweed Stems in Tempura Batter

This Hogweed Stems in Tempura Batter recipe is a simple and quick way to utilise Hogweed stems with ingredients we all most likely have lying around in our cupboards. The batter gives a strong crispy outer edge to the succulent Hogweed stems without destroying any of the refreshing flavour.


Ingredients:

For 3 people

  • 15 young Hogweed stems
  • 50g corn flour
  • 80g plain flour
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 250ml soda water

Method:

  1. In a large bowl mix the baking powder, corn flour and plain flour together
  2. Make a well in the centre and slowly add the soda water, stirring in between pouring, until it’s all added and you have a smooth batter
  3. Bring some oil up to medium heat in a non-stick pan
  4. Dip the Hogweed stems in the batter and fry on both sides until golden brown – about 2-3 minutes on each side
  5. Lightly salt and serve with a nice dip; hummus or wild garlic mayonnaise go nicely.
