About the same way you do Om. Easiest stuff to grow around here, both
spring and fall. We always have an eight or ten foot row. We eat it in
salads a lot, steam it lightly and put either vinegar or lemon juice on
it, in soups and stews. I have successfully dehydrated it and also have
blanched, froze on a bun sheet, then vacuum bagged for later use. Nuke
it a short while in the microwave and eat as above.
Another crop you might consider is New Zealand spinach, has been grown
in the USA since about 1750. Has fleshy green, triangular leaves and
reseeds itself very successfully. I like it steamed and I dehydrate a
goodly sized batch of it every year and then toss a handful into any
stew or soup I'm making.
Right now we're harvesting huge heads of cauliflower, made some as
pickles, steamed some, and had some with garam marsala on it and then
pan fried. Very tasty. The next head will be made into pickled mixed
garden vegetables with carrots, turnips, and other veggies from our fall
garden.
