Only green butterbur sprouts are suitable for our
dish. We will not need the red ones. The sprouts should
be up to 30 cm long with no leaves. Butterbur has a
bitter taste, and to get rid of the specific smell and
bitterness, you need to soak it in cool water overnight.
Pour a small amount of
water into a saucepan and
bring it to a boil. Add some
salt to the water to taste.
Leave the butterbur to cook
for 20 minutes. Sprouts should
become soft. Spread the stems
in a colander. Let them chill,
and then remove the skin.
