Made Weekly is a new favorite tumblr where blogger Rachel picks one ingredient per week and incorporates it into a new recipe each day. Last week's secret ingredient was pea shoots and I was determined to make one of the dishes. Did you know pea shoots can be used as more than just a garnish for fancy dishes like velouté or free range sea bass mumbo jumbo? You did? Well I didn't so tone down the pedantic 'tude.
I did a twist on this recipe, substituting blueberries for grapes and - zut alors! - was it good. Don't leave out the salt because otherwise the blueberries will be too sweet for the dish. I could put burrata in almost any salad and be a happy lil chickadee but particularly enjoyed it with the pea shoots, which it turns out I am just as capable of using as those upscale restaurant chefs. They're basically sprouts so they've already found their way into the sandwich I brought to work yesterday.
