  • About

Bonito flakes are made from grated dried fish by the Japanese.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg/ 2¼ lb spring greens
  • salt
  • 3 tbsp

Method

Discard the rough outer leaves of the spring greens, wash the remainder thoroughly and trim away the stalks. Blanch in plenty of rapidly boiling salted water and drain in a colander.

Transfer to a serving bowl which has a close-fitting lid. Dress the greens with the olive oil, lemon juice, ginger and mustard. Toss to coat evenly. Scatter over the bonito flakes and put on the lid.
