I’ve been on another thread where we’ve been discussing the edibility of caragana, also known as Siberian pea bush. Great news! It’s made it to our household staples. We have a long windrow and I pick the pods before they burst, then keep them in a pillowcase where they dry and the seeds shake out.

So far I’ve make caragana and carrot top tabbouleh, and tonight was a caragana and cucumber salad with lemon dill dressing. Any other ideas for this tiny legume?

Those dishes look delicious.

For our other readers that might not be familiar with Caragana, it is also known as the Siberian Pea Tree:
