Sourdough Discard Tortillas

Nigel….my trusty sourdough starter, he has just turned 7 and I love him to bits, I treat him as one of the family, feeding, nurturing, and wowing over his produce. But One thing gets me down, his discard, how can I throw it away? That tang, that wild yeast. All waiting to supplement my bakes.

This is probably the simplest recipe that Nigel produces, it takes little time and effort but gives in abundance. Perfect for wraps, fajitas, and burritos, adding that tang just as necessary.

Sometimes the simple things make or break a meal…

Sourdough discard, so precious but so underrated

My trusty Nigel, 7 years old and still giving his all, love him to bits…
