IN CRETE, a stew similar to the Corfu dish of steamed greens and tomatoes is made with sweet and tart greens, such as tender pea shoots, sow thistle, wild spinach, sorrel, wild leeks and lots of wild fennel fronds. Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives zest to the stew. Potatoes are often added. On both Crete and Corfu, artichoke bottoms and peeled artichoke stems are included when available.
