Pea shoots! Isn’t it just great to eat fresh local greens in the winter? The younger they are the more tender and delicious to eat raw. As soon I arrived home after this month’s pickup I made this simple dressing and ate half the bag without even bothering to sit down. The rest I used for breakfast omelets with blue cheese… not bad either!
- 2 generous tablespoons olive oil
- 2 heaping tablespoons tahini
- juice from 1/2 a lemon
- about a half or so teaspoon of molasses
- salt
- pepper
- cumin
mix with a fork. toss in pea shoots. eat with chopsticks!
(transferring to a plate and sitting down is optional)
