Wash 1 bunch of nettle, chop it finely, and separate the thick stems.
Mix the cornmeal, flour, salt, and water in a bowl into a thick batter.
Fold the nettle into the batter and spread it in a greased mold.
Bake the bread in a 190°C oven for 25 minutes, until the top cracks and browns.
Rest in the mold for 8 minutes so the cornbread does not fall apart when cut.
💡 Tip: Chopping the nettle very finely helps it spread through the batter and cook evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with cheese.
