How To Make nana's lion lillie pick-me-up

  • 1
    There are some lovely lion lilies that grow in the nearby field behind our farm, they taste delicious, but make sure to hard compress them if you are picking them fresh in order to get all the oil out. Store bought should come with the oil in a separate pouch, or so I'm told.
  • 2
    Take your mortar and pestle, and grind the compressed lilies into your bowl, slowly pouring in the savory mix.
  • 3
    Sprinkle chives on finished product, Leave some of the leaves unground for added taste. Pour oil into bowl to provide a nice curry-like paste, with none of the curry taste!
