A simple Pea Shoot Recipe
Stir Fried Pea Shoots Recipe with Garlic and Chillies(serves 2)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
a pinch chilli flakes
4 cups packed pea shoots, roughly chopped
Heat a large Pot or Wok to medium and add olive oil, garlic and chilli flakes. The oil should bubble around the garlic but not burn.
Cook the garlic and chillies, stirring them for about 3 minutes, or until garlic softens and starts to turn golden.
Add pea shoots and stir well to coat evenly in the oil and garlic. Stir them regularly as they will cook quickly and you want them to cook evenly.
They will take about 2 minutes to wilt down. Serve immediately.

Nero di Toscanu
Just 6 weeks into the new coalition government of Fine Gael and Labour, Osama Bin Laden has been killed. This would never have happened under a Fianna Fail led administration.
Meanwhile the sowing of seeds continues on the plot. This week I sowed Nero di Toscanu kale.
It promises to be an unusual looking plant, its also called Black Tuscan Palm.
This year I am going to try unusual colours in the plot, with Romanescu, Nero kale and Swiss Chard to provide a bit of interest.
