Very young dandelion leaves impart a bitter flavor that may be wonderful or terrible, depending on how you prepare and season them. The four other ingredients in this recipe optimize the dandelion’s flavor, and this simple side dish is equally good if you use very young wild chicory or very young wild lettuce leaves.
1-1/2 tbs. olive oil
7-1/2 cups (packed) of very young common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), wild or commercial chicory (Cichorium intybus), or wild lettuce (Lactuca species) leaves
6 cloves of garlic, chopped
3/4 cup sesame seeds
2-1/2 tsp. Bragg’s liquid amino’s or tamari soy sauce
1. Toast the sesame seeds in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring constantly, 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Immediately remove from pan and set aside.
2. Gently sauté the dandelion leaves and garlic in the olive oil 15 minutes, stirring often.
3. Stir in the Bragg’s liquid aminos and sesame seeds and serve hot.
