Only chopped leaves. I also found a version where they were cooked separately and eaten with flatbreads. Not as a filling. That’s something made with filo in the south, and has a different story. Anyway, it is really lovely to see you here.
Absolutely, their story is heartbreaking, and what I’ve shared here is just the tip of the iceberg, not only regarding their life during the Communist regime, but from the moment they arrived in Europe.
I had no idea dandelion flowers were edible, Irina. I'm looking out on a bobbing yellow sea of them in my lawn and I'm heading straight out to pick some to add to a potato salad. Thank you.
I was just collecting dandelion leaves to add into my breakfast salad this morning! What a wonderful coincidence to see your post today. 😊
Thank you for sharing the lovely recipes, family stories and cultural insight with us!
My pleasure, Suzy. Enjoy.
The dandelion breads use chopped leaves? Or also the flowers?

Lovely, Irina - and heartbreaking on the neglect of Romany knowledge. Thanks, too, for the heads-up on my dandelion post.

Every part of a dandelion is edible: the flowers, leaves, and roots. The roots, once dried and ground, make a coffee with an interesting flavour.
