    Instructions

    Cook the dandelion greens in a lot of water (about 2 quarts) until they wilt, around 5 minutes.
    Dump the whole lot in a sieve over a bowl and when cooled a bit press with a wooden spoon to extract most of the water. Set aside.
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan. Once hot drop the onions and fry them for at least 15 minutes until they turn golden brown. Add a teaspoon of brown sugar to help with the browning process.
    When the onions are browned, add the greens and mix with a wooden spoon to incorporate very well.
    Add the pine nuts and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to the mixture.
    Cover and cook on low heat for about 10 more minutes. Add the mashed garlic the last 5 minutes of cooking.
    Cool the mixture and serve at room temperature with lemon quarters to squeeze individually on each plate.
