The grainy photo here doesn't really do this meal justice, but you get the idea; it's the sort of thing you'd otherwise see arranged self-righteously on a square plate in a schmancy restaurant.
So far, little Noe Farm, so good!

Microgreens, mega-tasty
Call them thinnings or microgreens or dollhouse arugula - whatever you call them, they're really tasty little things, peppery and tender. The final resting place for our weekend rocket harvest was atop a lovely piece of wild Coho salmon, dressed with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Some roasted cauliflower from Alemany rounded things out nicely.

Doh! I didn't think about this!
ReplyDeleteWhen this set of argula ended up in the ground I had a lot of thinnings we could have eaten.

As it is I have 4 plants growing well in our backyard - also here in Noe. And some good cilantro and dill going well on the front porch.
But let me tell you - it's a lot easier to grow it in Healdsburg...

The same set of plants produced all winter. After they bolted, I cut them back to the nubs. 6 weeks later they were bolting again. Cut back, they are coming back AGAIN. Arugula is pretty much a weed.
Anyway, good to see another Noe Valley Gardner.
Beautiful arugula, murphstahoe! Would love to have a problem of "too much" arugula in a few months.
ReplyDeleteHadn't thought about cilantro and dill - those would be great additions to our garden.
