Wilted Dandelion

If you pick wild dandelion, Junior advises: "Pick tender young leaves; larger leaves are bitter. Soak leaves in cold water. Rinse and drain several times to remove excess dirt."

• 1 bunch dandelion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 3 eggs

METHOD

Rinse dandelion and pat dry. Chop coarsely.

In a 9 or 10 inch pan heat olive oil. Sauté onion and garlic until wilted and soft. Add chopped dandelion and cook till soft and wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

Fork beat eggs and pour over sautéed mixture, tilt pan to coat evenly. Scramble mixture with a fork to combine and let cook until eggs are set.

Serves 2 to 4.
