Dandelion greens saute

Note to self:

When it's this time next year, and your farm share includes dandelion greens, blanch them and drain off the water before cooking them.

Bitter. Wow. A nice bright, clean, happy kind of bitter, but bitter nonetheless.

This will be next year's recipe, courtesy of Mariquita Farm:

Dandelion Greens Saute

1 lb. dandelion greens
3 tablespoons olive oil
5 cloves garlic
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Wash and slice greens. Blanch in enough water to cover about 1 minute. Drain and saute in the olive oil for 3-4 minutes, then add the sesame and garlic and saute for couple minutes more. Add the sesame oil and serve.

I read this as Dandelion Greens Salute, which I rather like.
