Don’t get me wrong—it still makes a great garnish, but there’s so much potential with watercress. I use it in pesto, or as a purée to put on top of fresh shrimp and roasted tomatoes. It has this unique peppery flavor, and slight acidity, but still sits green and bright on the palate.” “The quality you get from B&W is second to none. That especially goes for their watercress, where they’ve taken the plant and given it the attention it deserves, so that when you order watercress from them, you’re getting the perfect amount of stem—a small amount, but it’s still there, because you want some of it for a nice crunchiness— with a really nicely portioned leaf.” Create Chef Ponzio’s Smoked Lamb Street Tacos Gingered Watercress Chicken Soup Don’t have all day to make soup?
