This month's recipe is tribute to the microgreen seeds we planted with families at the Blue Star Families Garden Workshop this month.
Dun pea shoots are a wonderful example of how quickly garden magic can happen. In just a couple of weeks, those tiny seeds grow into tender, sweet greens packed with nutrients; and they're delicious tucked into a warm, cheesy quesadilla.
When we cook with our campers, they get to see how things grow, try new foods, and learn the ins and outs of what goes into a meal. Through this process, students overcome fears of trying new foods and textures, and discover that some of the best flavors come straight from the garden.
If you are growing dun pea shoots for the first time, you can start them in a little cup right on your kitchen counter - the dun pea seeds start growing overnight (the perfect speed for eager little gardeners with short attention spans!).
