Mizuna, mi-whatta?
Learning about new veggies is one of my favorite aspects of participating in a CSA. Today's pick-up included something called mizuna. It has long, deep green, serrated leaves and a peppery taste.
A quick Google search reveals that mizuna is a Japanese mustard green, and apparently is good for stir fry. I'm looking forward to trying this Soba Noodle Salad w/ Mizuna recipe.
What are you planning to do with this piquant green?
These both sound great - let us know how they turn out! Also @Mara I think you're on to something with the panini idea: when I was searching for mizuna cooking ideas I found this recipe! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Pancetta-Mizuna-and-Tomato-Sandwiches-with-Green-Garlic-Aioli-235602
I just bought some Trader Joe's pizza dough, so I'm going to do a mizuna and spinach pizza!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good! Your pizza idea makes me think that mizuna would be good as a garnish for a warm panini.
