You mentioned Dandelion greens. That caught my attention and wanted to let ya know of a “Dandy burger” recipe my friend often fixes in the Spring during our re-enactment events.
I thought they’d be disgusting but I came home that weekend and made some myself. They are delicious and I’m not into that kind of stuff.

You take just the yellow part of the dandelions, mix some chopped onion with it and some flour and a weensy bit of milk to make them “sticky”.
Then you pat them into burger sizes and fry them.
Dip them in ranch dressing or in a mix that my friend makes with sour cream and sweet N sour dressing. OMG mouthwatering.
Oh, and salt and pepper to taste.

You need a GOB of the dandelion heads. You dont want any of the greens in this mix because it’ll make it bitter tasting.
But can save the green leaves for other things.

Gotta try this next spring. I highly recommend it.

Thanks. I’ll try them. I read on another thread this spring that some people harvest the flowers as they bloom and put them in plastic freezer bags in the freezer till they have collected enough.
