SMOTHERED DANDELION GREENS
Why I Love This Recipe
Cicoria Affogata
This is good in spring when dandelions are just starting to grow as you need young tender leaves so that they won't be bitter.
Ingredients You'll Need
2 lbs. fresh dandelion greens
3 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
Salt & Pepper
optional: Red pepper flakes while sauteing garlic
Directions
Discard wilted dandelion leaves.
Wash greens several times in cold water and cut off roots (if they are there).
Saute garlic in hot oil for 1 minutes.
Add washed greens and seasonings.
Cover pan tightly and cook slowly 10 to 12 minutes until tender.
If greens become too dry, add 2 tablespoon water.
Stir occasionally.
Serve hot as vegetable.
