Foraging

We are fortunate we can walk in the 'garrigue' (scrubland) and vineyards surrounding our village and come across, free, wild foods. We've just had wonderful figs, chestnuts and walnuts will be around soon and there's nearly always fantastic wild herbs to be gathered. But now it's time for pomegranate's. They grow wild and are usually just left on the tree's to rot. Clearly the status of pomegranate's as a 'superfood' hasn't reached French cuisine yet, so we're making the most of having this lovely free fruit on our doorstep.
