I made dandelion fritters. Last year I missed my window and didn't grab any dandelions before they all went to seed and disappeared.
This is the recipe I used:
https://simplybeyondherbs.com/fried-dandelions/
Prepare a dish (soup, salad, entree, side, etc.) that uses at least a cup of one of:
- dandelion (blossoms or leaves)
To document your completion of the BB, provide the following:
- A picture of one of the plants in the wild
- A picture of obviously more than a cup of foraged ingredients (or pic of the ingredients in a measuring cup)
- A picture of the finished dish
- A description of what the dish is
Some dandelions. I can't imagine anyone cultivating dandelions, they just appear. These were out on the margins of my field and I don't think anyone has been actively managing the field for at least 13 years.
More than a cup of dandelion blossoms.
Olive oil and coconut oil for frying.
Frying the dandelions covered in batter. Sorry for the sideways picture.
Frying fritters.
Completed fritters with whipped cream and maple syrup.
