About this recipe

This classic Lebanese side dish balances savory, slightly bitter greens with the sweetness of caramelized onions. Taking the time to deeply caramelize the onions is worth it, if you can manage to find the time. If not, just get them nice and brown on the outside.

The Benefits

Dandelion greens are full of minerals such as iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, making them a perfect fatigue-fighting food. They are also richer in vitamins A, B1, B3 and C than spinach. They have been shown to have powerful protective and detoxifying properties for the liver, which is enhanced by cilantro. In traditional medicine systems, dried dandelion greens are regarded as an important pre-natal herb and a galactagogue, though this has not been studied sufficiently.

Note: A pinch of baking soda helps onions brown faster.
