Author Notes
I fell in love with peppercress in my days as a farmer in Bolinas. It's so spicy! When I was working out in the fields and I needed a snack, this is what I would reach for first. We joked that we should keep tiny bottles of olive oil in our pockets to go with all the greens we snacked on.
Peppercress makes me nostalgic for my time on the farm, so I try to use it wherever I can. Today I had this sauce over leftover roasted potatoes, hard boiled eggs, blanched sugar snap peas, and watermelon radishes. It was perfect. —linzarella
