If you think of nasturtiums and watercress as close relatives, which they are, then using nasturtium leaves and flowers in a sandwich might seem almost traditional. The peppery taste of the nasturtium leaves and flowers has a clear similarity to watercress. Be sure the flowers you use are unsprayed.
Ingredients
- nasturtium or watercress leaves
- virgin olive oil
- lemon juice
- salt
- unsalted butter
Method
Nasturtium plants are prolific, so choose the smallest, most tender leaves. Wash and dry them, remove the stems, and lightly chop the leaves. Dress them with a little oil and lemon juice. Salt lightly. Spread a thin layer of butter over the bread, cover with the dressed nasturtium leaves and several petals, and cover with another slice of bread. Cut the sandwiches into triangles and serve.
