About Dandelion greens, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt
Cooking tames dandelion greens considerably. Boiled and drained, the bitterness mellows to something more palatable, though the characteristic pungency of the raw leaf does not disappear entirely. Fiber and protein hold up reasonably well through cooking, though some water-soluble nutrients leave in the cooking water. Dress with olive oil, lemon, and garlic, or use in the Italian tradition of sauteed greens with anchovies. A good replacement for broccoli rabe when a slightly softer, less sulfurous bitter green is what the dish needs.
