We’re often intrigued by unusual ingredients we find at markets and whilst moseying around the Sidings last weekend we saw some pretty little yellow flowers bagged up alongside the vegetables. ‘Wild Charlock Flowers’ the label read, “nice on salads” we were helpfully informed. We picked up a bag and started thinking about how they would look on top of a nice simple salad. Not only do these flowers look sweet but they have a lovely mustardy peppery taste too and smell slightly of cabbage (they do come from the cabbage family after all). They also happen to be known as wild mustard. For this reason we’ve paired them up with beetroot and mozzarella, sweet and creamy flavours to offset the pepperiness of the charlock. It’s a colourful and simple dish that is pleasing on the eyes and tastebuds.
