Garden Update and Dandelion Stir Fry

It's been a few days since I've posted,

so here are some updated garden pictures, and yet another recipe for dandelions!

So many colouursss

I  finally bought a tea ball. I've wanted one for a long time and I decided I needed one for my mint and dandelion root grounds, so I bought this adorable one from David's Tea. I love the little grapefruit weight at the end of the chain!

Dandelion (and a bit of kale) stir fry!

 

 

 

 

 

 The stir fry. I served it with kale, fried eggs and tomato with some pita to scoop up the yolk for dinner. Mmmm.

Easy dandelion stir-fry:

What you will need: Washed dandelion leaves, oil, garlic, and ginger.

- In a wok (or whatever you want to use for stir-frying) put in some cooking oil. Not much, just to fry the garlic.

- 2-3 cloves of garlic cut up as small as possible. Add after the oil heats up a bit. Make sure it doesn't burn.

(Feel free to use less garlic, I love fried garlic)

- While the garlic is cooking add some (or lots) of ginger to taste,

- Add the dandelion leaves, and stir it all up. If it's taking a while to cook thoroughly, put a tiny bit of water in and a lid over the wok to steam the leaves. Might need some salt.

Goes really well over rice or with eggs!

 

What I picked today. Yay peppers!

 Also it turns out the squirrels have discovered my backyard garden and have been digging in the pots (major Grrr). So I (with some help) cut up some of the habaneros and put them everywhere to guard against further squirrel attacks. Also put some cayenne pepper along the fence for good measure. I hate squirrels. I hope the peppers will scare 'em away.
