From the Market // Pea Sprouts


One of my favorite sprouts! And actually, the most versatile, I think. You can eat these raw, saute them, or throw them in a stir-fry. They have a crisp sweetness to them that aren't as earthy as peas, but a bit more refreshing, similar to a radish. They're even so elegant when used individually, to top hors d'oeuvres or small tea sandwiches. 

I have an endless bag of these, so I've put them in sandwiches - goes great with pastrami or roast beef with spicy mustard - and had a pea sprout salad with an orange-soy vinaigrette. You can also stir-fry these with some garlic and sesame oil.
