Dandelion update



Well, I finally managed to try out the dandelion greens I bought ages ago. I sauteed them in a little olive oil with garlic. And the verdict? Disgusting. Far too bitter for my delicate little taste buds. I think I'll have to blanch them first and then saute to cut the bitterness a bit. I still have some left so expect a dandelion update update in the near future.

  1. I would recomend sautee' finely chopped onion in olive oil and a butter (butter for flavour,oil stops the butter burning) dandilion greens, demerara sugar, garlic.

    dunno what ya wanna use them for cooking for,dunno the recipe.

    but for the health benefits I suggest an infusion of leaves and a shitload of honey

  2. Yeah, I've had the dandelion tea before. Maybe I should just stick with that.
