What goes with Wood Sorrel?
Wood sorrel here means professionally supplied culinary Oxalis leaves with a tender, sharply tart bite. It is distinct from the larger Rumex sorrel leaves and from preserved or dried sour-leaf products. Small portions function as both fresh greens and an acidic accent.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Wood Sorrel?
Pair the tart leaf with sweet shellfish, mild starch or creamy avocado. Original sweet applications can use it as a green sour layer against caramelised nut paste or browned milk. Control the total acid load instead of assuming that another sour ingredient will automatically improve the balance.
