Sautéed Dandelion Greens 🥬

[Kento Nanami]

Are you looking to explore a new way to enjoy dandelion greens? Sautéing them instead of using them in a salad brings out their unique bitterness in a delightful way. It's a great opportunity to utilize those backyard dandelions or pick them up at your local grocery or Asian market. It was great, hopefully you will try this guys.

Ingredients:

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 pound dandelion greens, torn into 4-inch pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 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 of salt in a large bowl of cold water. Add the torn dandelion greens and let them soak for 10 minutes. Drain well.
2. Bring a large pot of water with 1 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add the dandelion greens and cook until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the greens and rinse them under cold water until they are chilled.
3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onion and red pepper flakes. Sauté until the onion is tender, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the blanched dandelion greens to the skillet. Continue to cook and stir until any liquid has evaporated, typically about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Optionally, sprinkle the sautéed dandelion greens with grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes:

• Bitterness of Dandelion Greens: Dandelion greens have a bitter taste that pairs well with savory dishes and balances flavors.
• Variation: Feel free to adjust the seasoning and add your favorite herbs or spices to enhance the flavor.

Enjoy your delicious sautéed dandelion greens as a unique side dish or a flavorful addition to any meal!
