Lambsquarter

[cowgirl]

Not the animal...the plant. :)

The lambsquarter is coming up thick around my farm this spring...



I gather the young tender plants...




I sort and wash them...




Gathered some wild onions...






Fried some of my pepper bacon..




Sauteed the wild onion in the bacon drippings and a bit of butter..




Added my lambsquarter and cooked til tender, then topped with the crispy bacon...




The lambsquarter with a hunka cured smoked pork...




Thanks for checking out my supper!

I've had dandelion greens, but never those. Got 3 tractors setup with cultivators ta keep them out of the tobacco....they take over any crop!
Guess I'll give it a shot this weekend...the family'll think I've totally lost it LOL!!
Ya never cease to amaze me Jeanie!

I think I saw some of those growing around the pond. I'll be giving that a try. Looks great, Jeanie.

Jeanie rocks!

Jeanie,
Great looking weeds..(right?)lol. Only thing around here close to that is dandelion greens, which are very good. But I wouldn't eat, too many dogs around here adding their own flavor to the mix. That chunk of meat looks delicious.
for smoking weed, wait a minute, ain't that illegal.

I think hers is medicinal, she must have a prescription. Once you add bacon to it-it becomes medicinal in my book anyway.

[Earache_My_Eye]

WOW! I have been rather absent from the forum to have missed this one!

We used to eat lambsquarter and dandelion greens a couple times a year in the spring...I'll give my dad the credit for knowing they could be eaten, and making them tasty, too....although, he could have used a few cooking tips from Jeanne...those look AWESOME!

L8r,
