I know… I know… yuk. Dandelions are awful and bitter, right? Not true, not if you prepare them well. I’ve made converts out of many unsuspecting eaters. You do have to have a taste for greens and you will love them if you have a taste for slightly bitter greens like arugula and broccoli rabe. Dandelions are long time villager food for southern Mediterraneans, and Italians and Greeks make some of the most delicious food in the world.
My dandelion story…
I grew up eating dandelions. As a kid I would join my grandmother, mother and aunts as they skillfully harvested dandelions from the edges of farms outside of Baltimore. They would gather trash bags full, and the farmers were happy to be rid of them. At home we would boil the greens, after lots of cleaning, wrap them into foil squares and store them in the freezer. Whenever we wanted to eat our greens we would drop them in some boiling water, drizzle with a generous amount of extra virgin olive oil, serve with a slice of lemon and a plentiful quantity of feta and rustic bread.
Immigrant traditions like these are dying as we become more immersed in the modern culture. We hope that Dandelion will help to keep these traditions alive through education and recipes.
