Pea Shoots or Sprouts - cjs - 04-22-2008 I've been thinking of planting some peas this year, but now, maybe the whole fence-line.... The following was in my Sante newsletter - ---- "The San Francisco Chronicle has reported on the newest spring trend hitting menus in the local area: pea shoots (sometimes called pea sprouts, because chefs prefer to use the younger, more tender shoots). At San Francisco's R&G Lounge, the greens are served stir-fried with garlic cloves, allowing them to retain their crunchy texture and sweet taste. Out the Door, at Westfield San Francisco Center, also offers the shoots stir-fried, but chooses caramelized shallots and a bit of fish sauce to create a sweet and savory profile that plays off the vegetables natural qualities." Re: Pea Shoots or Sprouts - labradors - 04-22-2008 I could really use some pea shoots... ...to chase away the pigeons that gather on the patio. Re: Pea Shoots or Sprouts - Lorraine - 04-22-2008 I don't think I've ever had them. If you cut off the shoots, will the plant continue to produce more? Both methods of prep sound good! I may have to dig up the front lawn . Re: Pea Shoots or Sprouts - Harborwitch - 05-05-2008 Don't you mean 'pea shooter'??? OOOOOOps, I didn't say that. Re: Pea Shoots or Sprouts - DFen911 - 05-05-2008 Pea shoots.
