Boiled Dandelion Greens

Horta is a wild dark bitter green that grows well in Greece’s sun-drenched, rocky terrain. Simply boiled and dressed with olive oil and lemon, it has a rich, mineral-like flavor and is a staple in almost every Greek restaurant. Dandelion greens are the closest equivalent widely available in the United States; they are a clean-tasting accompaniment to roasted meats and grilled fish.
