This pesky weed is delicious and nutritious. I give it a simple preparation to contrasts the bitterness of the greens with sweet caramelized onions and salty feta. The sumac adds a lovely tartness. 1 bunch dandelion greens, washed 1 red onion, chopped 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 cup vegetable stock 2 oz sheep’s milk feta, […]

The briny olives contrast with the sweetness of the golden raisins against a chorus of warm spices.
