Red Oakleaf
from our plotOak-shaped leaves in deep burgundy, the colour only deepening as the season goes on. Pick-and-come-again for months, it gives a salad the look of something served somewhere lovely — and asks very little in return.
in the kitchen
Red oakleaf with warm goat's cheese
Arrange the burgundy leaves on a plate, top with rounds of goat's cheese grilled until golden. Drizzle with honey and scatter with toasted walnuts. The bitterness of the red leaves balances the sweet cheese perfectly.
