- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4
I found this recipe in The Silver Spoon cookbook; said to be "the bible" of Italian cookbooks. The book claims dandelion can help to purify the system, protect the liver and act as a tonic. It's pretty tasty too, not at all bitter and delicious with mashed potatoes and something with gravy! Read more . See less
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 pounds dandelion (about two large bunches), leaves cut into strips and washed shopping list
- olive oil shopping list
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed with the blunt end of a knife but left whole shopping list
- pinch of chili powder(optional) shopping list
- salt & pepper shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the dandelion in salted, boiling water for 15 minutes, then drain and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Heat the oil in a skillet (enough to just, fully coat the bottom of the pan), add the whole, skinned garlic cloves and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until golden brown, then remove and discard. Add the dandelion strips to the skillet, increase the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Season to taste with chili powder, if you like, or pepper.
