Step by step recipe

1	Put sorrel leaves into warm water with 1 tablespoon white (spirit) vinegar. Stir well, and leave to soak for 10 minutes.
2	Remove sorrel from water, discard any discoloured leaves, and drain the remainder. Your aim now is to remove stalk and central vein.
3	To do this, fold leaf in half lengthways...
4	...and with scissors, cut along about 2/3 length.
5	Do this for all leaves, then dry them on a cloth or better still with a salad spinner.

Remarks

Sorrel is very delicate, it doesn't freeze well and cooking time should be as brief as possible.
