By the way, I meant to say ... dandelion greens are a mild diuretic. (Many women who have bloat issues around their periods probably already know this.)
Thanks for the introduction to Bittman's video series; he's charming and this dish does look yum-er-oo.
Think it a good idea not to peel the potatoes, though, in an effort to retain as much protein as possible. Also it's wise to pick dandelion greens before the plant puts up flowers, as that tends to turn the leaves more bitter.
And... yeah, he uses way too much oil. I'd think I'd use some of that water and maybe ground pepper, cumin and garlic instead. (Cuz ya knooooow: spice is far more healthy a flavoring agent than is oil)
Never had dandelion yet, it is on my list tho.
ReplyDeleteI am having issues with finding a EVOO that I like, can you make any recommendations?
I like Colavita. One thing I'll pay more for. What ones have you tried?

Hope he plans to use that water as soup stock. :)
