Oryx Dandelion Stew

[sirenmoses]

it's Splitshot's fault, oh him who got his own subthread, then got's to be busting into my chat.

Ground oryx
pesticide free dandelions
red potatoes
button onions
water

brown the first, cleanse and rinse well the second, slice the latter as you see fit.

boil the water, taters first, then onions, then meat. save the greens till taters are done, then plop 'em in for a few minutes. serve, season as desired. enjoy.

a lite delicate flavor, w/the greens having the most 'bite'.

no, I don't have any photos, I was too bizy cooking and running calls. those damned dandelions are as much of a PITA to clean as they are to gather/cull, fwiw. But they sure are tasty.


I might be able to find a shot of the take-home seconds.

You eat weeds?

Thanks for the recipe (or was it a poem?). It will be super useful next time I'm a bantu bush man.

Can't believe I let a personal life interfere w/ reading the comments that got posts deleted from my thread.

You don't? Anything that grows on my property is not technically a 'weed', as I don't garden.

How nice to hear from you, Lawyer Man, glad you appreciated my prose. Learned about dandelions during a survival class in MN when I was a young'un, and choose to refurb those skills when I get the opportunity. Dandys are a very useful green: Dandelion.

I'll be sure to post up when my acorn flour receipe gets dialed in.


Don't know why we are at loggerheads: if I did something to precipitate it, please pm me.

Most of it was pretty stupid.

thank the lord we finally have a mod who knows how to control the riff raff around here.

now, should the dandelions be crisp, yet supple?

wilted like the salad. Even raw, dandelions aren't very crisp.

 

[sirenmoses]

not that suma ya'll actually care, but for those that do:

the dandy's I used were once rinsed, refrig'd for a week, w/a 2nd rinse before landing in the stew pot.

crisp is for salad, and dandy's are that, if 48hrs-picked: greens for stewing may be wilty.


I'll check in next week for the followup discussion.

The recipe sounds great. No more Oryx in the freezer but I might try it on some delicio Desert Big Horn I have!

And believe it or not stinging nettles are wonderful in the spring...cooked of course! Get them when they're just about a foot tall...with gloves on! Boil or steam the leaves as you would spinach; the heat completely eliminates the stinging effect. Another midwest spring treat...guaranteed!

One of my favorite things of fishing in August in the high country or drawing an early Elk tag, is planting myself in a raspberry patch. Total gorge and still have enough to fill a ziplock for cobbler that night.
