Water mimosa.
Thai food: water mimosa.
I bought some water mimosa (Neptunia prostrata) at the food fair a week or so ago. Dunno how you should eat it, but I chopped up the leaf, discarding the thick stems, and boiled it with onions, champignons and tomatoes, adding some parsley and chinese chives just before serving.
The leaf stems were rather hard and had to be discarded (after chewing them for long enough - not my idea of a good meal), but the taste was interesting.
This, too, came from the exotics wholesaler, at 1.5 € for a bagful. If somebody would please explain to me how to serve these so they don't get overly chewy I might give them another try. If I ever find them again, that is.
Thanks heaps! I'll give it
Thanks heaps! I'll give it another try, when I find it again.
