In Australia Too
Lotus seeds are touted to give us strength and vitality but the only recipes I could ever find for them just added them to soups or grain.
Here is the result of a very happy experiment with this fun and different food.
Lotus Root Salad by Susan Marque
Ingredients:
Soaking the lotus seeds will cut down on the cooking time. Place seeds, water and kombu in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer approximately 45 minutes with a lid on the pot. Keep an eye on the seeds to make sure there is still water remaining in the pot. When the seeds are soft enough to eat, remove the lid and simmer any remaining liquid away. Dissolve the miso paste in the mirin and add to the hot seeds. Add parley and any other herbs or spices. Stir in plain yogurt to taste. Serve on a bed of lettuce or wilted greens or in a sandwich.
Variation: Add curry or turmeric or both for a different flavor. Try other types of miso paste for another variety.
