(e:robert) and I made fried dandelion pattys for lunch. I couldn't remember how my mom made them so I made up my own recipe and it worked pretty good.
1. boil some chopped dandelion leaves in water. I drained out the bitter water and discarded but my grandparents used to keep it in the fridge and drink like iced tea.
2. cracked some eggs and blended em up with a fork.
3. took some chickpea flour and mixed with salt, pepper and some paprika.
4. dipped a handful of the dandelions in egg and then in flour. gently moved around but not enough to get doughy.
5. fried in peanut oil in flat frying pan.
6. after flipping and golden brownness, sprinkled with some shredded parmesaen.
7. optionally -
(e:robert) added some siracha hot sauce on top.
that bird is actually really cute! totally makes all the student loans seem worth it!
