Cooking with microgreens

Microgreens can be a versatile addition to your meals, including cooked dishes. While some microgreens should be added at the last moment, others can handle a bit of heat. For example, they can be added to stir-fry dishes or included in pasta dishes like this recipe featuring fresh veggies and pancetta.
