Last Sunday, around 20 people took part in the first MiNELL activity, the Minett Natur an Ëmwelt LéierLab, to taste the forest.

Just in time for the start of spring, the forest is slowly awakening. Herbalist Christiane Laures already knew that there were plants that could be used to prepare delicious dishes at this time of year.

As part of the workshop, the expert gave some explanations and then took the whole group on a discovery trip to the Ellergronn forest. There they collected the plants that were available in the forest at that time. These were then prepared, cooked and eaten together. The menu included things as diverse as roots, the first growing herbs and hazel blossoms.

There will be two more “De Bësch schmaachen” workshops this year. The summer edition will take place on 20 July and the autumn edition on 26 October.
