Go to the Recipe: Hazelnut Nasturtium Crumble
Where can I get nasturtium leaves?
Here, in the Seattle area, these vines grow everywhere. I would suspect that many nurseries would have a plant, and that would be the easiest way to get them.
What grade sieves are you using here? At close to a hundred bucks a piece I'm unlikely to buy the set but it's nice to dream ;-)
We have several sizes we use in the kitchen. If you are only going to start with a few sizes, there are a few that are very important to have. #200 or finer for straining stocks. #60 or #80 for passing most soups and purees. #30 works great for sifting powders such as flours, sugars etc. And lastly a courser sieve for sifting chopped nuts etc I would recommend a #5 or #10.
It was quite difficult to know what Nasturtium is, and how locate it in a Spain's market. For our spanish Chefs (also spanish speakers) Nasturtium is "Berro" (singular; Berros, pl.) in Castilian Spanish.
I have been looking for Nasturtium for some time too. In Dutch, it's called "oost-indische kers", the Latin name is Tropaeolum Majus. It's a common garden plant, I ordered some seeds together with all the stuff I needed for the microgreens project.
Hey good folks at chefsteps. Could you use any other nuts for this or you guys think that hazelnuts are the best?
Thanks
I sewed two varieties in the garden a few years back and now get more than I can possibly use. I make pesto or use them as salad leaves. I've also started to preserve the nasturtium seed pods in vinegar as as substitute for capers in salsa verde etc.
Got very lucky at a garage sale on Saturday. Picked up a set of 8 Advantech Full Height 12" Stainless Steel Test Sieves plus the matching Sieve Pan. (Numbers 6, 10, 50, 80, 100, 120, & 200) All for a grand total of $150!
Like a nutty Gremolata!!
I love this recipe. I’ve used it with carrots and poached eggs. Has anyone tried it with other pairings?
