When cooked, dandelions blossoms become soft and take on the consistency of artichoke. Throw in the flavor of garlic, butter, and Parmesan, and you have a really well-rounded and exciting side dish or the perfect topping for a slice of buttered sourdough toast.
3tbspsButter Alternatively olive oil or coconut oil
2 -3ClovesGarlic
2Handfuls Dandelion blossoms Stalks removed.
1Small chunkParmesan
¼TspSea saltor to taste
Instructions
1. Peel and crush the garlic cloves. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter gently over medium heat and add the garlic. Sautee until softened and turning golden in color.
2. Add the remaining butter together with the dandelion blossoms and salt. Stir gently until the butter has melted and the blossoms have wilted.
3. Roughly grate the parmesan and mix through
Serve hot, directly from the pan topped with some parmesan shavings and a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
Notes
Serve simply on sourdough toast or a slice of bread fried in olive oil. An extra sprinkle of salt works magic! They also taste great mixed into a creamy pasta and bacon sauce or tossed through a warm salad.
