Dandelion greens are one of my favorite bitters! They're not for everyone, but I enjoy their unique flavor. I decided to try them sautéed instead of in a salad and it was a huge hit! Makes good use of those dandelions in the yard or you can usually find dandelion greens at the grocery or Asian market.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 pound dandelion greens, torn into 4-inch pieces

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced

  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (Optional)

Directions

  1. Dissolve 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl of cold water; add dandelion greens and allow to soak for 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. Bring a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil; add greens and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until chilled.

  3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and red pepper flakes; cook and stir until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Increase heat to medium-high and add dandelion greens. Continue to cook and stir until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. Sprinkle greens with Parmesan cheese to serve.
