Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I make chard and kale but never grens, never cared for them when I've tasted them but they were never fixed like this.

When greens are done, drain them and pour sauce over greens, top with the mozzarella cheese. This is way better than creamed spinach in my opinion ) Blessings, Chanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 greens are so good for you! They have lots of fiber and tons of nutrients. This way is kinda fattening I would say, with the cream cheese and the mushroom soup, but it was so yummy, but I eat greens all the time just plain with some margarine and a dash of garlic powder salt and pepper. When I eat greens I feel close to the earth. I feel like I am doing well because this is a part of the plant that may be wasted otherwise, and it is so loaded with nutrients and cancer fighting properties, it is low cost, so I am not spending a lot, and I just feel like mother nature put these here for us to eat. Ok, LOL, have a flower I know. Oh speaking of which, next spring I am going to eat some dandy lions. I have a strong feeling my family will draw the line at that point and I will be dining on those alone, LOL. hugs, Chanda - purplepassion Wednesday, October 12, 2005 8:57 PM Re: recipe cheesy mushroom sauced greens Chandra I make chard and kale but never grens, never cared for them when I've tasted them but they were never fixed like this.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Along the line of flowers, try nasturtiums. You can eat the flower or the leaves. They have a spicy kind of peppery taste, similar to watercress. They are really good in salads and make a pretty edible garnish without the work.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I was never served greens growing up, but my friend from the south made them and we also had red pepper hummus... well.. I topped my greens with a tbsp of redpepper hummus.. and oh boy oh boy.. my mouth was sooooo very HAPPY! and Chanda.. I love what you say about the greens here.. makes me motivated to add more to my diet! =) always wanted to try dandy lions myself... I think I even save a bunch of recipes one year... don't konw where I'd find them though... since 'wild' ones in the city are sure to be sprayed with all kinds of things... peace, Jenni O > PuterWitch <puterwitch wrote:greens are so good for you! > They have > When I eat greens I feel close to the earth.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 ) ya know, the ones that grow wild in your local park should not have been sprayed. Just wash em' real well. hugs, Chanda and Chanda.. I love what you say about the greens here.. makes me motivated to add more to my diet! =) always wanted to try dandy lions myself...

You definitely have to eat them when they are young as they are quite bitter. One of the summer issues of Saveur had a great section on eating dandylions. They were brought over here by the Europeans because they are considered a necessary green to eat. The grow fields of dandylions to harvest and make all kinds of things including wine.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Dandelion wine is definitely known in the US as well, or at least it used to be as it is the title of a wonderful book by Ray Bradbury about his childhood and I believe it is the grandfather in the book who makes the wine. I wonder what it tastes like! -Craige On 10/13/05, organic_homestead <organic_homestead wrote: > > , " PuterWitch " > <puterwitch@c...> wrote: > > > next spring I am going to eat some dandy lions.

Sprays and exhaust... but anyway, browse this site for interesting city finds! :-) I have the cookbook, but haven't made much from it as he's in NYC and some of the wild foods just weren't anywhere near me... http://www.wildmanstevebrill.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
