Edible NatureOn this page you will find some of the special recipies that we come across or special events related to Edible and Medicinal plants. The best way to get our medicine is in our food. I recently did a presentation at SAIT on Edible and Medicinal Plants. Chef Simon Dunn provided me the following recipe: Easy Sauted Dandelion LeavesAn easy way to add some local fresh greens to your meal.The best dandelion leaves are found in the shade, before the flower stem has started to grow. In fact if you see a tiny flower bud at the center of the leaves that is the latest to pick the least bitter of the leaves. Make sure you know the area where you are picking from to ensure chemicals have not been sprayed on them.
Saute dandelion greens in olive oil with Shallots After 3 or 4 minutes, add a splash of red wine vinegar. Turn down heat for a minute or two and serve!
