Instructions
Using Whole Leaves
If using the leaves whole, just snip off a few stems, rinse and add to your recipe as needed. As in our iskiate recipe above.
Chopped up leaves
This is easy. Just rinse your stems, and chop them up finely and scatter as the recipe calls for. Be sure to remove any particularly, woody stems.
