I made this recipe from Fresh by Sergei and Valya Boutenko and it was great.

I used my garden herbs: sage, lavender, curry and purple basil instead of cilantro, added black pepper and cayenne pepper and had it wrapped between lettuce greens.

Hmm….very nice lunch. I wish I could eat two more but gluttony is a sin. Scroll down for the recipe.

1/2 cup Cashews

1/2 cup dried Tomatoes (soaked in water 10 minutes)

1/4 bunch Cilantro

1/2 teaspoons Olive Oil

1/5 teaspoon Salt

1/5 cracked Black Pepper

Yields: 1 patty

This is my current garden consisting of lavender, basil, curry and sage. I recently discovered my love for gardening, though I have a lot of experience in virtual planting and harvesting, thanks to early and recent generations of Harvest Moon. Never in my life have I grew anything except for those little bean sprouts in elementary class and helping my grandma water her plants. That’s about it. Cherrybombpie, green thumb? Pffft.

I got the pots free from a florist in Chinatown. It pays to know Chinese. I wasn’t sure of his ethnicity but I tried Mandarin anyways and turns out he’s a Chinese and smittened one
