Cooking tips

Wormwood should not be collected within city limits or along roadsides, as these plants accumulate too many harmful substances. Choose young shoots instead.

To clean the flounder, rinse it thoroughly, place it on a board with the dark side facing up, trim off the tail and fins with scissors, make a V-shaped cut on both sides of the head, remove the head, and carefully remove the entrails through the resulting opening, being careful not to crush the gallbladder. Then make a cut down the middle of the body and remove the skin.
