Hi Lori!!
Warrigal Greens
A great substitute for spinach, Warrigal greens area herb with arrow shaped leaves, common in coastal regions of NSW. Warrigal Greens need to be blanched lightly before use. if you choose young light green leaves this isnt as necesarry. Greens may be blanched and then sauteed in olive oil with a pinch each of Nutmeg, Native Pepper and Lemon Myrtle until the leaves wilt and change colour before adding to recipes.
