It's the season for hops! Most people think of hops as what beer is made of, but the tips are delicious to eat as well.
Mamma took me to her secret spot today to pick a bunch. You want them when they have just emerged and there is a satisfying
snap when you pluck the tender tips.
Once they have been rinsed, blanch, squeeze excess water and freeze until you are ready to eat them or quickly fry in olive oil with garlic for a fresh and delicious risotto.
