Ingredients

• Dandelion greens - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Wash the dandelion greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt and grit. Drain and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.

5. Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish.
