Great Micro Greens Recipes For Your Tastes
If you love the taste of fresh salads but don’t like the strong taste of traditional greens, then consider experimenting with microgreen recipes. You can choose to use either a traditional salad dressing or microgreen (sometimes called radish microgreens) in place of lettuce and Mayo. Many chefs love the flavor of using microgreens instead of lettuce and onion. They are smaller in size and, because they grow on the leaves, require more frequent trimming. Radish microgreens can be eaten raw, sauteed, grilled, stewed, raw, or cooked.
To plant your microgreens, dig a hole two feet long and two feet wide outside your home. Once the root ball is removed, it can be divided into two halves. One half should be used to plant the seeds in a shallow dish filled with water. The second half can be planted in a shallow dish filled with loosely packed soil in your garden. Make sure your growing medium is well draining before putting your seeds in the holes. Once the seeds are in the holes, they will begin to grow.
To make a delicious, nutritious salad, use a tablespoonful of softened butter, one tablespoon of dried oregano, chopped fresh dill, a quarter teaspoon of dried thyme, and a quarter teaspoon of freshly chopped parsley. Heat about one inch of oil in a large skillet and add the micro greens to the pan. When the microgreen starts to swell, add the other ingredients and continue to cook for about three minutes until the greens are bright green and the herbs are softened. Let the salad cool and serve with crackers or sliced vegetables.
For a delicious salad, use softened butter, chopped dill, fresh dill, finely chopped garlic, and finely chopped parsley. Heat about one inch of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add microgreens and saute for two minutes until the greens become bright green and the garlic starts to turn golden. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Store chopped microgreens in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
In a food processor or a blender, combine the softened butter and chopped microgreens and add a pinch of Cayenne. Then squeeze out all the juice from the pepper and blend until smooth. Next, add chopped chilli, chopped tomatoes, and any other items you want in your blender or processor. Use a rubber rolling pin to crush the mixture into small particles and press the mixture into long, narrow balls. Heat your hands and apply pressure over the ball of dough, so that it retains its shape.
Now, you have a fun filled, colorful garden salad! It is really easy to make and is guaranteed to be a big hit at your next outdoor party. You can serve the salad with different microgreens, such as red, orange, lime, or carrot; or mix it up with regular old white lettuce. Your guests will never know that you didn’t buy fresh vegetables for your salad!
You can also use different kinds of nuts in your salad. For example, instead of using plain sunflower seeds, try using roasted pea shoots. Both the pea shoots and the leaves have a nutty flavor that goes great with the other components in your salad. If you want to include radish shoots, you can do that, too.
If you don’t want to use any nuts or microgreens in your sandwich, you can use radish leaves. Chop them finely and add them to your tortilla. Another great thing about this sandwich is that you can eat it with or without any cheese. You can dip your bread in a bit of olive oil, too. There are many different ways to make a wonderful sandwich using microgreen ingredients.
