Only sustainable and regional ingredients are used in the kitchens of the Green Pearls® hotels. The chefs also like to use what they find in nature. Many of the supposed “weeds” can be used to make real delicacies.

Wildflower meadows with useful herbs

Are there areas in your city that are used as wildflower meadows? A wildflower meadow is very undemanding and at the same time very useful. It provides protection and a home for many insects and smaller animals. If properly cultivated, such a meadow blooms all summer long in a wide variety of colors and always shows new flowers. Many of the wild plants are also healing plants, such as camomile, lemon balm, or cowslip, and are excellent for homemade remedies for the medicine kit. You can also use the herbs for salads, as in the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA.

Wild herb salad

Gut Nisdorf also uses everything that can be found in the garden for a wild herb salad: Dandelion, chickweed, ribwort, goutweed, sorrel, and daisies. With tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber, corn, and chickpeas from the jar, the salad becomes a real meal. It doesn’t need a heavy dressing, just a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar are enough. Sabine Stange, the owner of the family hotel Gut Nisdorf, recommends not to get upset about goutweed, but to use it. The weed grows everywhere in the garden, but it is rich in vitamins and minerals and is good for soups, teas, or lemonades.

Herb walks

The HUBERTUS unplugged in Balderschwang focuses on regionality and slow food cuisine. The hotel cuisine is designed to create a desire for food and good ingredients. Therefore, there are also many great workshops and offers at the hotel. For example, the so-called herb witch Sandra will take you on a herb walk. During the walk, you will explore the meadows of the Allgäu and learn how to use wild herbs.

Wild herb dumplings

Wild herbs are also popular in the kitchen at Hotel Rinner, especially goutweed and nettles, which are also recommended by Sabine Stange. These grow particularly well along the Katzenbach, the small stream that flows through the hotel garden. In spring, the delicious wild herb dumplings land on your plate. By the way, the recipe comes from grandmother’s farmhouse kitchen. At night, you will find many delicious herb salads at the buffet, which add that certain something to your plate.

Soup recipe

Eco Park Hotel Azalea also likes to use wild herbs and weeds in the kitchen. You can find the recipe for a tasty soup right here.
