As long as snow doesn't blanket the ground, I'll find some weeds to put on my sandwich! Here's a vegan sandwich with 3 winter weeds of Oregon's Willamette Valley!
Getting My Sandwich Together
First I went for a walk in my yard, to see what tasty weeds I could find. It's amazing to me how some weeds do better in the winter than in the summer. That's the case for all the weeds in my sandwich. When it gets cold - we can get below 0 F here - they take a beating, but they spring back quickly. It's only gotten down to 19 degrees F so far this winter, so they are looking good.
To make my sandwich, I finely chopped all my greens and the pickles. Then I stirred in about half that block of tofu. I added some Dijon mustard and the filling was done.
I like an open-faced sandwich with a soft filling, like this -- otherwise, it all seems to squish out! And that's not a fun way to eat a sandwich!
Eating My Winter Weed Vegan Sandwich - So Good!
I hope you get to enjoy fresh greens of some sort during the winter or in early spring! Spring is coming and there will be so many great greens to eat! :D
I'll review this Oregon beer on #beersaturday, so watch for that! :D
You can see that review now -- right here!
What Do You Think?
- Do you have any green plants around you in the winter?
- Do you forage for any wild food?
- Do you like to eat Japanese persimmons?
- Would you eat my wintertime sandwich?
I eat a lot of wild plants and show you how, because I believe that we can all have lives that are richer, more secure, more grounded, and more interesting by getting to know the plants and the land around us – in our yards, our parks, and our wild places.
