Bitter dandelion greens are turned into a delicious and healthy dinner side with the help of just a handful of ingredients that include raisins and bacon!
Ingredients
- 4 1/2 cups dandelion greens rinsed, dried and roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion chopped
- 2 strips baked bacon
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 2 tsps dried parsley
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp corinder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a pan (large enough to hold the dandelion greens) with water and bring the water to boil.
- When the water is boiling, drop the dandelion greens into the water for 20 seconds. Using a large spatula or pasta drainer, remove the dandelion greens and place them on paper towels to drain. They will be looking pretty darn pathetic at this point, but don't fret.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a pan along with the chopped red onion. Stir the red onion as it sautes over a medium flame. Let onion saute for about 15 minutes or so.
- Add in the blanched and drained dandelion greens and saute about a minute.
- Then, add in the paprika, parsley, coriander and stir well. Toss in the bacon and raisins, season with salt and pepper and enjoy!
