Sweet Galium: What Is It?
Sweet galium ( Galium triflorum ) is one of the bully risky herbs I ’ve meet . Sweet woodruff ( G. odoratum , a cousin-german ) is an herbaceous plant that ’s been used in Europe for a very long time . It is loved for its unbelievable odour , which is a combination of vanilla extract and fresh - cut grass . I bonk the flora did n’t grow in the Midwest , so imagine my surprisal when another chef in townspeople put sweet woodruff on his menu . I need to have this herb . The only problem was finding it .
I knew from images that woodruff was a type of cleaver or bedstraw , an omnipresent weed easily identify through its creeping , vine - similar social system and the coil of leave of absence that circle the stem . Every type of bedstraw I smelled , though , just smelled like grass . I think it must be some fabulously rare cousin I ’d demand to find , a botanic phonograph needle in a hayrick . On a whim , I brought a handful of some of the most common galium dwelling , toss it unceremoniously into the dehydrator , and went into the other room to work .
Spreading the Sweetness
Not 20 instant subsequently , a strong vanilla extract scent fawn out of the other way , calling to me , pull me like the white fingers of aroma in a cartoon . I jumped up and down — I’d set up it ! It was just a common mourning band , and it was everywhere ! I could n’t believe it . The entire top base of my apartment construction reeked of vanilla extract for hour . It ’s one of the most strongly redolent plants I ’ve ever come across , and it was hide in plain visual sense .
Since then , my dear for this common weed has only originate , and I utilize it in all kinds of things . harvest , storage , and cooking with it could n’t be easy , and it can be used any- where you ’d like the gustation of vanilla . The aroma is so potent , in fact , that you could make your own homemade vanilla extract extract from it ! I ’ve included a few simple recipe here to get you started , but the only limit to how this herb can be used is your imagination . Besides the simple panna cotta and extract below , supply a fistful to Black Walnut Preserves or any sort of homemade alcohol infusion , for the delicious vanilla note it pass on .

RECIPE: Sweet Galium Panna Cotta
serve up 8
A tribute to the panna cotta that Chef Jim Christiansen , formerly the chef of Heyday in Minneapolis , used to run on his menu . sweet-scented genus Galium would love to be instill into just about any dairy - found afters , but it ’s hard to bewilder a skilful panna cotta , the Greco-Roman Italian , scented - cream dish that just might be the most perfect summer dessert out there when paired with fresh Chuck Berry or a wise fruit sauce .
you could halve this recipe using two sheets of gelatin or 2 teaspoon of pulverization .
Ingredients
Process
Wrap the genus Galium in cheesecloth for easy remotion later . heat up the ointment , maple ( sirup or sugar ) , and galium until steaming , then withdraw from the heat and cool to board temperature , allowing the galium to instill for at least an time of day or so , or up to 8 hours . after , remove the genus Galium and discard .
plume the gelatin in ice urine until soft , about 4 or 5 minute , then sum up it to the cream mixture and reheat it lightly , whisking to unthaw the gelatine .
If you practice pulverised gelatin , purée this with a hand blender to break up any lumps . Finally , whisk in the yogurt . Pour the mixture into ramekins or other small vessel ( press jars , custard cups , teacup ) to set , and refrigerate overnight .
To serve , unmold the panna cotta by slew a paring knife around the edge and lightly releasing them , or serve them in their individual vas , exceed with a dollop of fix or yield sauce and fresh berries .
