Cattail Shoot Tzaziki Sauce

Shopping for dinner at the Cattail pond!

 

Shoots Taste EXACTLY Like Cucumbers!

 

Gyro Meat w/ Cattail Shoot Tzaziki Sauce

Cattail shoots taste just like cucumber!  So it was an easy swap for this recipe.  Tzaziki sauce is that wonderful sourcreamy sauce that goes so well on Gyros, a Greek staple.  Be sure to shop for your Cattails from a clean source.  They are proficient at sucking up toxins from the environment.  The swamp I have has a fresh water stream running through it and it is at least 1/2 mile from the road.  Feeling blessed for Cattails are Nature’s Supermarket!

Gyro Meat was purchased from Mr. Original Gyros in Boone, heat in oven with foil over the top of the casserole.

Tzatziki Sauce

(combine these ingredients once the garlic and cattail shoots have been chopped fine)  season with S & P to taste.

I did not put measurements, just wing it depending on how much sauce you are making.

Sour cream or plain yogurt
Garlic minced
Herbal vinegar
Diced cucumber not necessary
Cattail shoots chopped fine
Sea Salt and Pepper to taste
Sprig of Parsley

Place in serving bowl with a sprig of parsley for decoration and a serving spoon

Serve with pita bread, gyro meat, tomatoes and red onions!

About Wild Blessings

Welcome to my website. My name is Holly Drake and I love to study, teach, and talk about wild foods. I live in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina with my husband Jason and my dog Max where I explore the beauty of God's creation to learn as much as I can about wild foods that are available to us for free.
