Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

9-10 ounces (250-300 grams) dandelion greens (washed. Use small leaves if possible; tear larger leaves in half or into thirds)
5 ounces (150 grams) yellow or Yukon Gold potatoes
5 ounces (150 grams) pork belly* (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 shallot (finely minced)
1 medium yellow onion (finely minced)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Boil potato(s) unpeeled for 20-30 minutes until done. Peel and smash.
  • Sauté in a small pan until crisped (due to the fat content it will not become totally crispy as bacon would). Set pan with pork belly aside.
  • Using a heavy skillet (I used a cast iron skillet) add dandelion leaves, smashed potato, shallot, and onion. On low heat begin to cook mixture stirring frequently. The dandelion leaves will begin to wilt quickly.
  • While the mixture above is beginning to cook, reheat the skillet with the crisped pork belly. When warm, add the vinegar, stirring frequently to caramelize the pork in the vinegar. This will happen very quickly if the pan is warm (1-2 minutes).
  • Add the pork to the dandelion mixture, along with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and serve immediately.
