<h1>Cooking with MicroGreens</h1><strong> Author: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/profile_Justine French.aspx'>Justine French</a></strong><br /><p>Experienced grillers know that cooking the ideal meal on the grill is all about the ingredients. From the seasoning, to the caliber of the meat, to the topping or side dish – if everything is of superior quality, then the taste will pop even more. This summer, more grillers than ever (some in the backyard, some in five star restaurants) looked to the strength of microgreens to adorn their dinners. Called one of 2008's kitchen buzzwords by National Public Radio, micro greens are a fashionable menu trend. Used by cooks to energize and increase the dining experience, microgreens instill flavor and originality to their culinary creations. And ever since then, pro and newcomer chefs alike have been finding new and creative ways to implement these delicious greens into their deluxe cuisine. If you are just now exploring microgreens, here are some meals to help you fit these wonderful greens into meals you cook frequently. Grilled Chicken Salad Grilled Chicken Salad is a popular food for several reasons. It is nutritious, tasty, and easy enough to create. But if you ever find yourself desiring a effective complement for lettuce, look at a succulent mix of micro or petite greens. Give your succulent chicken a worthy bed of greens upon which to lay with a microgreen mix. This mix will not replace the lettuce of your salad, but rather complement it with bold flavors and a light, pliable crunch. Your dinner visitors will all want to know why your grilled chicken salad is so much preferabler to theirs – will you let them know your secret ingredient? Spruce Up Steak & Potatoes This is the cornerstone of most American meals – the traditional steak and potatoes. Whether your potatoes are mashed, diced, baked or sautéed, rest assured that micro-greens can help freshen your food. If you want to grant your potatoes some extra kick, try inserting some Micro Mustard Horseradish or Micro Radish Ruby for a peppery and aromatic supercharge to your plate. Just Before the steak is withdrawn from the barbecue, shower on some Micro Mint Lavender or Micro Basil Nutmeg leaves to allow the steak a unique, flavorful variation. Micro greens can be blended with almost any dish, so let’s go forward from traditional and lets get fancy.</p><strong>About the Author:</strong><br />Justine French is a professional chef, who uses <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freshorigins.com/menu-micro-greens.html">microgreens</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freshorigins.com/edible-flowers.html">edible flowers</a> in most of her dishes.<p> Article Source: <a href='http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Cooking-with-MicroGreens_58555.aspx'> http://www.articleseen.com/Article_Cooking with MicroGreens_58555.aspx</a></p>
