Color and texture are just as important as flavor, and these vegetables can make a big difference. |
Even common greens, like spinach, are misunderstood. As a group, they are overlooked, but they add so much flavor. |
Since we have to order things by the case at the restaurant, I tend to shop at the stores, just like everyone else. Many of the greens lend themselves to cooked dishes, not just salads. |
Think mushrooms with greens. You don't clean and slice mushrooms until you're ready to use them. Same goes for these vegetables. |
