Apr 8 Wish List: Miso

I may be a little late to this miso train, but I'm jumping on that bandwagon hard-core. As an ingredient I wasn't really aware of until college, I had only ever heard of it being used in miso soup. Then I started to pay a little more attention, and I got curious. The miso glaze from Love and Lemons was like our gateway drug into The World of Miso. After that encounter, we became a little obsessed: Robert attempted to put that miso glaze on anything he could get his hands on, and I started pinning any recipe that mentioned that magical umami ingredient. Then there was the miso-creamed kale that rocked my world, and the miso-maple roasted roots that took our salad from "great" to "totally boss." In case you can't tell, I want to cook with miso some more. A lot more. As usual, Food52 came to the rescue by telling me all about how to cook with miso, and better yet - how to make a week's worth of dinners with a batch of miso butter. I need to try that. Here are some other miso-centric dishes I want to try:
