Ever look at red baby bok choy from above?
4 heads baby bok choy, trimmed, leaves separated
4 tsp. canola oil
1 clove garlic, minced
¼ tsp. kosher salt
½ tsp. freshly grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1½ tsp. chopped fresh tarragon or ¾ tsp. dried
1 tsp. mirin (see note below)
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss bok choy, oil, garlic and salt in a roasting pan. Roast on lowest rack, stirring twice, until wilted and tender-crisp, about 6 minutes. Whisk lemon zest and juice, tarragon, mirin and pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle over the roasted bok choy.
NOTE: Mirin is a low-alcohol rice wine essential to Japanese cooking. Look for it in an Asian store or in the Asian section of a market. An equal portion of sherry or white wine with a pinch of sugar may be substituted. .
