Advice
- If you have tender dandelion leaves, make a salad with the leaves instead of cooking them.
- You could also steam the leaves and serve them with balsamic vinegar. It tastes delicious, leaves no grease on dishes, retains vitamins and is simple.
- If you want, you can also eat the flowers, they are rich in vitamin C. Better to include them in a salad instead of cooking them. If you cook them they disintegrate.
- If you want, substitute olive oil with walnut oil for a nutty flavor but be sure to cook over low heat and fast.
- Dandelion leaves can also be cooked with other fried vegetables. For example with beets, courgettes, sorrel and Indian mustard.
