Yesterday I was outside and had been noticing that the dandelions are coming up in our yard. Some people see dandelions as weeds. Not me! For me they are a highly sought after and nutritious vegetable. Here in Indiana, USA, I can harvest them spring through fall.
On the way back to the house I picked a nice handful of them and came in and made a 2-egg batch of noodles with them. This time, I also gathered some fresh chives and garlic leaves from the vegetable garden, boiled them all together for 5 minutes, drained them and then put them in the blender with two eggs and a teaspoon of salt. Then I made the noodles from that mix. Above, you can see them cooking.
When they were done, I drained them, added about 3 tablespoons of butter, some salt and pepper and some chicken meat that I had canned. Oh my... we'll have that for our meal today.
I have posted about this before, and Here is the link to that post. This time, I used King Arthur unbleached all-purpose flour. I also now own a small pasta roller and enjoy that, although that is certainly not necessary. Mine is like THIS ONE.
Sometimes I re-post things, since I've had this blog for about 10 years and I'm sure most of you Gentle Readers have not seen most of it.
Don't you just love springtime?
