Blackberry and Pea SaladOrigin: Ancient Period: Traditional |
|
Although not common any more, a dish of blackberries mixed with tender young peas can still be served in Eastern Europe. Admittedly, even the thought of this dish clashes with modern culinary sensibilities. Yet, the combination of sweet, young, peas and slightly tart blackberries works very well. And, as the middle of the pea season and the start of the blackberry season overlaps it would have been natural for your ancestors to mix these two ingredients. After all, peas, which we tend to think of as a 'vegetable' are actually fruit. So why not mix peas and blackberries. It's also true that blackberries are very versatile and work well with meat, game and fish. So a dish of peas and blackberries would be an excellent accompaniment to just about any meal. The contrast of dark blackberries and pale green young peas is also visually stunning and this makes a wonderful talking point for any barbecue. Ingredients:
400g blackberries, picked over, washed and dried 
Method:PreparationCombine the ingredients in a bowl and toss to mix. Serve as it is, or, if desired make a dressing from 4 tbsp honey and 1 tsp mustard powder. Warm this in a bowl until runny then pour over the salad and serve. |
