After my foraging tour with Leda Meredith through Prospect Park, I came home with a bag full of wild treasures and the conviction that I could turn these invasive "weeds" into something mmmm-inducing. I've never trampled through a field before and then thought the greens below my feet would make for a tasty meal {not a common thought for a New Yorker}. But I've come a long way after a mere two hours with Leda -- and am now emboldened to cook with ingredients found a few feet from a park bench. For those of you who don't plan to take up foraging anytime soon, or don't have access to a forage-friendly plot of land, I've included suggested recipe substitutions to these wild cousins. And let me just say, this recipe exceeded my wildest expectations -- it's a start-your-morning-right winner.
