Catholic Recipe: Pissenlit au Lard
Also Called: Dandelion Greens with Bacon
These dandelion greens with bacon dressing is a great accompaniment with Roast Venison for St. Hubert's day. His feast is no longer on the General Roman Calendar.
DIRECTIONS
Wash the dandelion greens carefully to remove all grit and dry thoroughly in a salad basket. Cut up 1/4 pound of lean bacon into dice and fry over a slow fire until very crisp. Add 3 tablespoons of tarragon vinegar to the bacon grease and season lightly with salt and freshly ground pepper. Pour, while hot, over the greens, mix well, and serve at once.
