making the most of the weeds

Since ultra processed foods are in the headlines, taking a leaf out of a Lebanese cookbook might be a good idea.

This tasty Lebanese recipe involves a little cooking and nothing processed and is superbly healthy.
When we first came to Bristol we made this dish popular in Lebanon, Palestine & Syria using Italian chicory at vast expense (see photo below) little realising that hindbeh in Arabic are dandelions!

Now is the time to gather dandelion leaves to make hindbeh: a dish which requires a walk, Zejd's delicious EVOO and mouths willing to try something different!
