I was at the market Saturday and Flora's Farm had some crazy green called "Mizuna". She let me taste some raw, and I was hooked! I love arugula, and this was a lot like that, but a little milder and more complex. It can be served either as part of an Asian stir-fry or a Mediterranean salad. I chose to do the latter last night and today. I mixed it with spinach and dressed it with a lemon vinaigrette with radicchio last night as a side; today I mixed it with spinach and a lemon vinaigrette under a salmon salad (canned salmon, soy mayo, chopped green onions) for lunch.
I think it would have been equally good as a wilted side with miso dressing tonight with my Leftover Stir-Fry: skirt steak, asparagus, baby zucchini, green onions, spring garlic, chopped broccoli, chopped carrot. . . all tossed with a spicy soy, rice wine vinegar, hot pepper, garam masala, and sesame oil dressing (lots of water added; thickened with a mixture of cornstarch and water). I just had too much food as it was, so I skipped the side. I had the stir-fry all over wild and brown rice. That steak is still delish. Having leftovers from tonight for lunch tomorrow.
On Friday, I hope to make it to the farm market at Monterey Peninsula College. I'll fill you in then. if not tomorrow night.
Til then - see you at the market!!
