Monk's Beard may not be the most well-known vegetable out there, but it's quickly gaining popularity among chefs who prioritise seasonal and unique ingredients in their larder. This succulent and moist green is thought to have originated from the Capuchin Monks in Tuscany, hence its name.
One of the standout features of Monks Beard is its texture. It's tender and almost melts in your mouth, making it a joy to eat. Its flavour is similar to chard, with a slightly bitter aftertaste that adds complexity to any dish it's used in.
To prepare Monk Beard, it needs to be blanched or steamed until tender. From there, it can be tossed in olive oil and lemon juice to make a simple, yet flavourful side dish. It's also a great addition to potato salad, adding both texture and flavour. For a more substantial meal, it pairs well with spring lamb, providing a delicious and nutritious accompaniment.
Not only is Monks Beard food delicious but it's also packed with nutrients. It's high in vitamins C and A, as well as iron and potassium. So not only will it add flavour and texture to your dishes, but it will also provide a nutritional boost.
If you're looking to try something new and exciting in the kitchen, give Monk's Beard a try. This relatively unknown green has a lot to offer and is sure to impress. Order yours today and elevate your cooking game with this unique and delicious ingredient.
