Nature’s Bounty – Dandelion Greens

Slightly bitter dandelion leaves, softened and set off by crisp savory bacon. Traditionally considered a Spring Tonic, and refreshing after the winter.
Prep Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bunch dandelion leaves
  • 2 slices bacon
  • 1 small onion

Instructions
 

  • Cut stems off dandelion leaves. Shred the leaves, then wash and dry them.
  • Cook the bacon over low heat until fat is rendered out, and the meat is crisp. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
  • Put the dandelion leaves in the pan, and toss well in the bacon fat. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  • To serve, crumble the reserved bacon over the greens.
