A little bit of foraging turned up these greens - Barbarea vulgaris - for my supper.
Stir fried quickly with a little sliced onion and then sprinkled in some soy sauce and a splash of cider vinegar they were allowed to steam just a moment too long, but were still very fresh and nutritious served with some boiled potato.
Sounds really good. Where did you buy them and what do they taste of?

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI didn't buy them, they are growing wild on my farm in France.
The plants are also known as Land Cress and the leaves have a peppery taste a bit like Water Cress. They are often used as a substitute for that in winter salads and you can buy seed of garden selections for your veg. patch. I don't know if these are native plants or garden escapes but I'm not too worried!
I was particularly taken with the lovely flowering heads, which reminded me of rape flowers which are eaten in Japan - hence my next entry for tempura.
