Recipe for cooking tumble mustard

[Stephen Tashi]

I'd like to find a recipe for cooking the edible weed sisymbrium altissimum (tumble mustard, london rocket).
There are plenty of recipes online for eating it raw, but I'd feel safer trying it cooked since the harvest will be from my urban lawn.

I think "Wash it!" (heavy metals) is the key here, not "Cook it!".

I've had a similar problem with Rucola these days. It was simply too much for me to eat the 5th portion of salad, so I was searching for a recipe to use it cooked somehow. Well, I couldn't find one. All warm versions included it as a cold add-on rather than a part of the meal. I was hoping to eat it like spinach, but no chance - you cannot get it soft.

If there are dogs or cats frequenting your yard, find something else to eat. Aside from urban aerosols there can be several different parasitic organisms - spores, eggs, etc., in pet feces. Washing well will not necessarily remove every type of parasite. Some parasites can enter through the skin, i.e., hands during washing. Cooking will kill the parasites. Avoiding them in the first place is the best choice.
