Dandelion and Zucchini Fritters

Latest posts by Natalie Auer (see all)

I’ve been growing my own food in the garden to harvest every year for some time now, but recently started dabbling in foraging for wild plants about a year ago. I truly enjoy it. I had no idea how many plants were edible where we live, and how delicious they’d be. This dish is more of an appetizer or can be served as a side with any wild game dish. Enjoy!
