RE: Steemit Iron Chef 2017 #17: A Celebration of Forests and Fields!
This looks so fresh and delicious! I love how you arranged everything on that plate, especially the tomatoes with these basil leaves. Looks like the wind blew them on your plate!
Tipuvote!
Thanks for the tipuvote, @pusteblume! It's the first time I've seen that. That salad was fun to make - it's simple, but it was tasty. The leaves are the wild chickweed. Basil would be good in the summertime, for sure! And each dish had a very different taste and texture.
Ah, yes chickweed! It grows everywhere and almost everytime if it's not too cold. I used it for salad before. It has a very nice taste. For me it tastes a little bit like very young harvested corn cobs, don't you think?
That chickweed (Stellaria media) really is incredible at being able to grow anytime it's above freezing in the winter, at least here in Oregon's Willamette Valley. I think it tastes like a simple lettuce. The one, to me at least, that tastes more like corn, is Cleavers (Galium aparine). It's still pretty tiny, just waiting for a little longer daylength! So many good greens! :D
