I am working on learning to identify plants and utilize them in my recipes...for better or worse. Lots of folks talk about specific plants but if you don't have a clue what they look like...hmmm, you can't use them. When I am in doubt, I chop them up and add them to soups, stews, or sauces rather than raw in a salad. Thanks for the time and effort you put into this site. kb Appreciated the ‘clear’ photo…to think I have been pulling up the pepercress and, well, you know.

I don't know the plant you're looking for by name. Could you get a description of it? Hi Carolyn.

The pesto I do is very very simple -- just peppercress, salt, olive oil, and garlic whizzed in the blender. It's incredible as a dip for bread, a sauce for vegetables, or even on pasta like basil pesto! Hi Robin!

I have this little spicy green all over my land, too and love it...and believe it is cardamine hirsute. the first time I saw it a few years ago was in the wettest part of our land and I thought it was watercress. Well, it's a cress, anyway. thanks for ther USDA link. today I saw the first flowers, it's almost too small to gather any, but the key word there is almost!! It's yummy in just about anything...am so enjoying the first wild greens of the season...this weekend I gathered and sauteed some nettles, this cress, garlic mustard, some tiny dandelion leaves, a garlic scape or 2 and tomato slices in olive oil, added some shitake vinegar and fresh marjoram then topped 'em with some kefir and opened 2 eggs on top, cooked sunnyside...it was a VERY well received breakfast! And you say it makes great pesto, too? that's exciting! do you use another green with it, or on it's own? Happy Spring and Green Blessings, Robin Hi Rebecca!

I tried to leave this on your blog, but I can't understand your antispam mechanisms! I love your recipe for buckwheat and spring greens pancakes and I wondered if you would mind if I posted the recipe on the UK Herb Society forum. Many thanks Sarah P.S.

I found some in my greenhouse yesterday and couldn't decide if it was a weed or part of the lettuces I had planted. It didn't quite look like lettuce, but I liked the peppery flavor so I threw some in the salad. Yum. I was excited to see this post today.
