Haalo from Cook (Almost) Anything At Least Once focuses on two Japanese ingredients –Shiso, which is known as Japanese Basil and Umeboshi, known as Japanese Apricot. Haalo uses these two ingredients to make Iwashi No Umé Maki Yaki (Rolled Sardines with Plum Paste). Attention-grabbing!

Spanakopita (Silverbeet)

Anna from Morsels & Musings spotlights Silverbeet also known as Swiss chard. She decides to use the vitamins and minerals-rich vegetables to make Spanakopita (Greek spinach and Feta pie) when spinach isn’t available. The results are a delicious dinner.

Nasturtiums
