Stage 1 - 2 min.

Put sorrel leaves into warm water with 1 tablespoon white (spirit) vinegar. Stir well, and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Remove sorrel from water, discard any discoloured leaves, and drain the remainder.

Your aim now is to remove stalk and central vein.

Stage 3 - 1 min.

To do this, fold leaf in half lengthways...

Stage 4 - 1 min.

...and with scissors, cut along about 2/3 length.

Stage 5 - 20 min.

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.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

Avocado is rarely paired with sorrel, yet they go well together as the slight acidity of the sorrel balances the smooth richness of the avocado nicely. In this recipe they are combined in a cool, fresh avocado and sorrel mousse, served here with eggy bread fingers.
