EGGY DANDELION AND SPINACH MIX

Let's face it, most people don't start jumping up and down with the idea of having dandelions for dinner, or breakfast... or any time of the day, really. Dandelions in regular supermarkets tend to be bitter and most of us don't know what to do with them in our kitchens... But given proper love and care these wonderful greens will not only do your body right but can also become a staple in your fridge and a star at your dinner table.

This recipe works because aromatic sweet garlic and velvety rich eggs give this recipe another dimension. Giving greens a quick boil and rinse remove any bitterness dandelions may have and also helps remove oxalate content in spinach. I like using duck eggs because they have rich and deep flavor and color but chicken eggs work just as well and taste just as good.

It's a wonderful dish on it's own, packed with vitamins, minerals and protein that also makes a great side dish to your meat and fish main courses as well as savory breakfasts.
