It robs many of the nutrients, so I was glad to find "permission" here to cook it without blanching...looking forward to serving it tomorrow, though I will definitely have to call it "hindbeh," as I can already hear my husband going on about serving guests "weeds."

Thanks for trying the recipe and sharing. I love hearing success stories :) How good are those onions with it? Man I love that dish! Make sure you leave some to be eaten cold. It's the traditional way of eating it. Fouad Hi Christine. Thanks for trying the recipe and sharing. I love hearing success stories :)

Also added the chickpeas to the pan to heat up just before the end of cooking. Was absolutely delicious - the contrast of the tangy lemon with the bitterness of the greens and the sweetness of the caramelised onions - amazing! Thanks so much for sharing - I never knew the weeds in my garden had so much to offer!! :) Cheers Christine Cooked this tonight and had it as an entree, hot from the pan rather than cooling it down.

I love dandelion! My parents forage in our hometown spring to fall, they get all sort of herbs including rocket, purslane and one call kors aanneh (dunno english name) and so on. Mom makes hindbeh as a side dish usually so I never thought of making more filling. Yogurt and pine nurs seem intersting... yummm! I love dandelion!
