I tried cooking it. I won't make that mistake again, but that's just me. The texture was nasty, and the flavor wasn't much better.

Vietnamese use crush dried shrimp to make the soup base. That's pretty much all you need...maybe a little salt (or fish sauce). It is great in soup too!

I was wondering what you could do with the mystery greens besides sautee them with a little garlic! I agree that the thought of a salad full of the raw leaves might be a little much!

I think it is cool that it came up wild in your garden! Kalyn--if you run across it, try it. It really does have a good flavor, and the nutritional profile is great. Diane--scrambled with eggs would be good! How do you cut it up for that? Mathay--ooh, Masoor Dal! I have another pound of it, that I could make with dal. (I love Masoor Dal with spinach anyway....) The other way of cooking you describe--eh--I am not sure if I would love that, either. The way I cooked it, there was no real sliminess in evidence--maybe I cooked it just long enough to avoid that.
