Spinach Dock is another name for Common or Garden Sorrel and Narrow-leaved Dock. Sorrel is has a lemon-like sour flavor. The bright green, oblong leaves of this sorrel variety grow atop long, narrow stems with a habit similar to spinach. Sorrel is easy to grow in cool months, and it tends to spread. Sorrel has a long history as an herb and green-leaf vegetable. Also known as rau chua (sour herb) or rau thom (fresh herb) in Vietnamese, sorrel is used fresh and raw in Asian cuisine, lending its strong flavor in small amounts. In parts of Africa, it is added with spinach to meat stew. In western recipes, it is more often cooked as a green in soup or in cream sauce with fish or chicken, or as a wrap to tenderized meat or fish. Sow seeds in spring after danger of all frost. Harvest side leaves on small plants and full leaf cutting above the crown on mature plants.
