Ingredients

What to gather

Microgreens are added for flavor, color, and texture. Keep refrigerated and rinse before use.

Finish

  • Warm entree
  • Small handful pea shoots
  • Lemon zest
  • Olive oil or pan sauce

Method

How to make it

Add microgreens after hot cooking steps unless the recipe says otherwise, so texture and color stay intact.

  1. Step 1

    Plate the entree and sauce first.

  2. Step 2

    Place pea shoots where they stay visible and away from heavy sauce.

  3. Step 3

    Finish with lemon zest if it fits the dish.

Chef notes

Use pea shoots for height on plates where the garnish should feel fresh and edible.

Storage and handling

Keep refrigerated. Rinse before use.
