I was transplanting tomato and celery starts, and there was a bunch of sorrel in the way, so I plucked it out and later made a Persillade/ChermoulaChimichurri. It might seem funny to make something fancy and then just have it on toasted bagels with melted cheese, but that's what we did. I diced it with garlic and jalapeno (that turned out to be incredibly mild) and then mixed with cumin, salt, olive oil, and lime juice. It's pretty good.

Here's my submission for this BB. I harvested lambsquarters and included them in a salad. I'm attaching pictures showing:

Thanks!

Enchilada means something enrobed in a sauce of chiles. My understanding is that in Mexico, it's assumed to be a tortilla unless something else is specified. In the US, we expect it to be a tortilla wrapped around some filling, but we've taken to making enchiladas in a variety of ways. Here, I'm making lambsquarters enchiladas. I picked one largish lambsquarter plant and harvested all the leaves. To that was added a wad of wood sorrel (which turns an ugly color when cooked, but disappears nicely into other stuff at the right ratio), and onion, and some leftover black beans. I heated tortillas, slathered them in green chile sauce, topped them with the lambsquarters mix and some cheese and capped that with another slathered tortilla.
