"Primavara clar. Eu prefer si recomand tot ce e peren sa pornesti ca rasad in rasadnita, fiindca perenele pornesc mai incetuc si sunt fragile mici. Ca nororcul, skirretul este destul de viguros, insa in primul an tot nu creste decat vreo 20-30 cm, cel putin la mine asa a fost. Nu am facut decat o data, restul am inmultit vegetativ sau din autoinsamantari. Ar putea fi insamantat la exterior prin aprilie, deci si in rasadnita pune-l cand e mai caldut dar nu foarte."
Lentils and Skirrets with Bacon (Medieval recipe)[edit]
Put 125 g of bacon, chicken giblets of one chicken, and 8 garlic cloves into a stewing pan with 1 litre of water and cook 30 minutes, skimming often. Strain and reserve the bacon and giblets. Put the stock in a clean stewing pan with 3 cups (750 ml) of water. Add 500 g of green or brown lentils, 3 teaspoons of salt, and half a teaspoon of ground ginger. Chop the giblets and add this to the pot. Chop part of the bacon, enough to yield half a cup (50 g) and add this to the lentil mixture.
Cook 20 minutes over medium heat, then add 1 cup (100g) of sliced skirrets. Continue cooking until the skirrets are tender (about 15 minutes), then add a quarter cup of chopped parsley, half a cup of chopped spring onions, and a quarter cup of dill. Serve immediately in a bowl with the remaining piece of boiled bacon on top.
