Dandelions are one of the best foods on the planet. Since I have raised beds, naturally, I get some in there along with the foods I plant. Well, they grow beautiful and gigantic. So, when I "weed" I can, usually, get a good bag full. If they are too strong in flavor, I just re-boil them.
I take a double rinsed bunch and just chop them up with the scissors, which is quick and easy.
My last bunch were quite mature and were a little fibrous after being boiled. So, I just put them in the pressure cooker, added some water and brought it up to pressure. Then, I turned the stove off and let them sit. When I got around to opening the cooker, they were all nice and tender. All they needed was salt and butter. Yummy!
(I had actually used the pressure cooker pan for the first boiling so all I really had to do was put the top on.)
The best part is that this dynamic, powerhouse food is absolutely free.
Are you tossing them out? What are you thinking?
