When I was still at home, we used to sow mustard and cress especially for Easter, as at the time of the year it is still quite cold in Poland and you don't see many green plants. As everyone was looking forward to spring, you really needed to see fresh roots...I would wet some cotton wool and place it around a clay pot turned upside down to create a small hill. Then I would sow the seeds. If I did it in around 3-4 days prior to Easter, we would have an ornament for our Easter breakfast table. After Easter, the cress would be thrown away...
But, I have never thought about using it until I became a mother myself. To add some veggies to our diet, I started planting mustard and cress without any special occasion. Once it grows, I cut it and chop on the board. Then I add it to a buttered piece of bread, before I place a slice of ham or cheese. It is delicious.
