Wilting means that the beautiful green sorrel will become brown and mushy, but fortunately it keeps all its taste.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Add potatoes in the pan, salt and pepper, and cover.

Stage 8 - 25 min.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

At the end of this time, remove from the heat, and blend the contents of the pan with a blender.

Remarks

The boys call this recipe "alien soup", obviously from the color. They came up with this version: put a small alien in a blender with 1 litre of acid, do not salt (the alien is naturally salty) and blend about thirty seconds, serve immediately.
