Sautéed Dandelion Leaves Recipe

Ingredienti

• 1 lb dandelion greens (washed and dried (about 2 bunches if using cultivated greens))
• 5 clove garlic (peeled and sliced)
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1-2 tsp maple syrup
• 3/4 cup vegetable broth
• 1-2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Preparazione

1. 1

   Use a paring knife to peel the garlic while leaving the cloves whole (do not crush). Slice thinly (1/8”/3mm or less).

2. 2

   Rinse and dry the dandelion greens. Trim off the ends where the leaves are not connected.

3. 3

   Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-low heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring until the garlic slices turn golden brown. Remove the garlic from the pan and set aside in a small bowl, but keep the oil.

4. 4

   Return the pan to the heat and add the greens. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it begins to wilt. Reduce the heat to low and pour the vegetable broth and maple syrup into the pan. Stir to distribute everything evenly.

5. 5

   Allow to simmer uncovered and cook for about 10 minutes or until 75% of the liquid is gone, stirring occasionally.If the liquid hasn’t reduced, you can add 5 minutes more to your cooking time.Remove from heat and season with salt and lemon juice to taste. Sprinkle in the fried garlic at the end and serve.
