For the first time, I had a lot of Illinois Bundleflower seeds to harvest. I’ve never cooked or eaten them before, and information online is pretty slim unfortunately. So, I just took a stab at something random. For the filling:
- Desmanthus illinoensis seed/grain
- Manoomin
- Dried crushed rockweed
- Black bean miso
- Vegetable stock
- Cheddar
…all stuffed inside a white scallop pattypan squash. It was… about as okayish as it looks, not fantastic, not terrible. Honestly I thought about posting it to c/ShittyFoodPorn instead 😅
More importantly than the quality of the dish, it turns out Illinois Bundleflower seeds are easy to cook and have decent flavor and texture! So, task failed successfully I guess? Thank you for your time!
lol that’s fair! Illinois bundleflower is a legume that produces nutritious little flax seed looking things, manoomin is kind of a grain similar to rice, rockweed is an algae, miso is a paste made of beans and cultured rice, pattypan squash is a summer squash shaped like a flying saucer.
