Re: [CnD] Question About Sprouting Broccoli Microgreens
If you want light, then you want a nice vinaigrette. But you could also make it like a slaw only with sprouts instead of cabbage. The texture is definitely different, but it still works. Do you need vinaigrette recipes? Or do you just use bottled dressing? Any dressing you like will probably work. The most indulgent thing I have ever done with sprouts is to use blue cheese dressing. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark Sent: Sunday, September 6, 2020 10:58 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Dani Pagador Subject: Re: [CnD] Question About Sprouting Broccoli Microgreens Thanks both of you, for the encouragement.

Re: [CnD] Question About Sprouting Broccoli Microgreens
I really liked them. We put them in a salad, on sandwiches, and on top of a stir-fry. They were extremely flarovful, and a little hot actually; pretty strong. I think they would be good in the chicken oriental salad. too. It will bring a smile to my husband Tom's face to know you are in Hawaii. He was stationed in the navy there for 13 years and really really loved it. Enjoy your sprouts when they actually sprout.

Re: [CnD] Question About Sprouting Broccoli Microgreens
Good luck, Dani. I agree with Linda. You can't always tell that seeds have done the thing they are supposed to do, but you don't want to soak them for more than twelve hours. Even if you do soak them for longer than that, you have to rinse them after no more than 12 hours. Now you have to make sure that the seeds stay damp but that they are not actually sitting in water, and rinse them at least every twelve hours. One more thing: They don't have to be in the dark.
