Title: Pea Shoot ideas?
Post by: Gadfium on May 16, 2006, 22:59:05
Got my very first cut of pea sprouts. 

Not knowing what to do with them - this being a culinary unknown - I ended up with:

- 1/2" fresh grated ginger
- small amount oil
- 2 handfuls rough chopped Pak Choi
- 2 handfuls pea sprouts
- egg(s)

Gently fried the ginger, then added the greens and a tablespoon of water for a very quick steam. Put the piping hot gingered greens on the plate, topped them with a poached egg, seasoned with a little pepper, and popped a slice of wholemeal bead on the side.

Very nice!

I've got lots of pea sprouts to go... plus any re-cuts (do they give you re-cuts??)... your culinary alternatives would be very welcome.


P.S. I can't remember whose post I read, which prompted me to try this... but thank you :)

Sounds exciting!

Have only used them fresh + cca leaves etc - usually with a Balsamic dressing.

Need to chop a little or the tendrils get up your nose!!

Re-cuts? We've been cutting our second lot since 20/4.
