This is delicious, and barely a recipe. Chickweed is the flavor of summer; it tastes the way freshly shucked corn smells—raw and haylike. Substitution: Any mild green, such as lamb's lettuce will do.

Our Pairing Suggestion

A light, snappy red with a peppery quality and oak-free finish like a French Sancerre Rouge would pair nicely.
