Fresh Food Tuesday

     Miner's Lettuce is growing in patches on our five acres and in our neighborhood.  Just picked, it's lovely added to a tossed green salad.  It also steams up nicely like spinach.  I chopped up some and added it to potato cakes the other night, and that was a nice spot of color.  It doesn't have a strong taste, but with its dark rich color, I'm sure it's vitamin packed.  It's like the shamrocks of the Sierra foothills, except they are round and like a lily pad.  It will come and it will go, I'm always finding new patches about.  The season is six to eight weeks.
