Mizuna Matata- in fact hakuna matata with lots of mizuna - - tatsächlich Hakuna Matata mit Zuviel Mizuna

Too much Mizuna in the garden?

Here´s is a great recipe for ca 1 kilo mizuna

Zuviel Mizuna im Garten? 

Hier ist ein Super Rezept für ca 1 Kilo Mizuna:

to blanche - blanchieren

Mix 250 gr minced meat with 2 chopped Tomatoes, some soya Sauce,salt, pepper, minced onion, 1 egg, and a cup of breadcrumbs in a bowl...

250 gr Faschiertes mit 2 Tomaten, etwas Sojasauce, Salz Pfeffer, gehackter Zwiebel, einem Ei und einer Handvoll Semmelbröseln gut vermischen,

Fill into a Baking pan in layers,

 Schichtweise in eine Form füllen,

 Some sour cream, 2 Spoonful grated parmesan, some butter flakes and then into the oven for approx. 45 minutes

etwas Sauerrahm darüber, 2 Esslöffel geriebenen Parmesan, ein paar Butterflocken und ab in den Ofen für ca 45 min.

                                 

Tastes delicious, and works with all other plentiful greens as well! (at least I think so, I didn't try...)

Schmeckt total gut und funktioniert bestimmt auch mit jedem anderen Grünzeug das man gerade im Überfluss im Garten hat!

in the garden - still

 tomatoes, all kinds

 Römersalat - romano salad, my favorite!

rucola self propagating

  strawberries blossoming

 Posthörnchen......a variety of runner beans I never planted before, bought from Arche Noah
