These little flavor bombs can be used as a replacement for capers. The bud of the dandelion is a small, green, unopened bud that is often found very close to the ground within the leafy area of the dandelion plant. They pinch off very easily if you give them a little twist while pulling.
Ingredients
2 cups 2 cloves ½
Method
Harvest 2 cups of dandelion buds and soak them in cold water for a few minutes, stirring them around with your hand to remove any dirt or bugs that may have hitched a ride. Rinse and repeat this process until the buds are clean and the water runs clear. Remove stems and discard any buds that are semi-open and showing yellow petals. You only want to ferment the tightly closed little green buds.<
