What goes with Mâche / Lamb's Lettuce?
Mâche has small rounded leaves arranged in low rosettes, with a tender stem junction that can trap fine grit. The leaves are supple and faintly fleshy rather than brittle. Their taste is mild, green and softly nutty, with restrained sweetness and little bitterness. Whole rosettes bring a delicate three-dimensional shape, while detached leaves are easier to distribute through a small dressed portion.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Mâche / Lamb's Lettuce?
Keep partners finely portioned so the small leaf is present in each mouthful. Toasted walnuts or hazelnuts reinforce its restrained nutty register; beetroot and apple supply separate sweet or tart accents. Rich cheese and liver require particular restraint in quantity and temperature. Use a light acidic film or small seasoned elements rather than enough dressing to flatten the rosettes.
