Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb of greens I prefer Dandelion greens
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 1 onion chopped (or 1 leek sliced thin and halved)
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • big handful of dill finely chopped
  • Stems of the dill chopped
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • salt
  • pepper
  • feta for topping optional

Equipment

  • Medium or LArge Pot

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil and saute the leeks, onions, and dill stems until wilted.
    1/2 cup olive oil, Stems of the dill, 1 onion
  2. Add the well cleaned greens and about half the dill and saute for a couple minutes and stir until wilted. The washed greens hold a lot of water. If dry, add a splash of water Cover and slowly simmer for about 30 minutes.
    2 lb of greens, salt, pepper
  3. Take of the heat and add the dill, the lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper. Sometimes with very bitter greens, I have added vinegar instead of lemon. Both acids really cut the bitterness.
    3 chopped green onions, big handful of dill finely chopped, juice of 1 lemon
