I posted this recipe last year but it’s that time of year again! I just fried a batch today and they were delicious! 🙂
I love dandelion greens! It is probably my favorite part of spring. I probably should have shared this recipe earlier in the year but, here goes.
Step 1: Find dandelions. A LOT of dandelions. I try to fill a large pot.
Step 2: Using a knife, cut around the root system to lift the plant out of the ground.
Thoroughly wash the plants. I prefer to cut off the hard bottom part.
Step 4: I like to fill a large bowl with water and really swirl them around for an extra good rinse.
Step 5: Fill the pot with water and bring to boil for a few minutes. You don’t want to over boil them. Just soften them a bit.
Step 6: Meanwhile, fry some bacon in a large skillet
Side note, the flowers taste so extra good. 🙂 My favorite.
Step 7: Drain greens and add to frying pan. Fry for about 10 minutes, tossing around frequently.
Step 8: Serve on your most fancy dinnerware. I suggest serving with a side of southern style cornbread and a protein.
There you have it! Healthy eating and weed control in one. Obviously, don’t pick dandelions that may potentially have been sprayed by weed killer or peed on by your dog etc.
Enjoy!! 🙂

You can eat dandelions? I seriously thought they were poisonous. Not deadly poisonous but make you sick poisonous.

Oh yes, you can eat them and they are so good!! The flowers, leaves, roots – everything. I see dandelion greens in those high priced fancy spring mix salads sometimes. They are a bit bitter done that way but cooked up in bacon grease…. Mmmm. I want some right now! 🙂
