Wild Greens


Driving through Tuscany in the spring you'll happen upon natives clambering up and down the hillsides, clutching bunches of what looks like grass in their hands. A few weeks later, the bunches appear in town: Agretti, or Barba di Frate (Friar's Beard). They look a bit like chives and have a slight onion-y smell.

I had to search UK websites for a recipes. Turns out, a bit of olive oil, garlic, and salt and pepper was all it required...
