Anyone have a good recipe for dandelion greens? I tend to like some bitterness, but these, along with mustard greens, are just too bitter for me. Fat does balance the bitterness, but dousing in olive oil gets a little old and I find myself passing these goodies up.

The usual recommendations are: add strong flavors like garlic and onion (or perhaps bacon if you're into that), add salt, add acids.

The chicory balanced out the weakness of the second pass through the K-Cup and this was my 'second cup of coffee'. I suppose this would work anytime you want to squeeze another cup out of whatever brew method you use.
Sounds great! I've often stirred it into hot coffee. It seems to dissolve easily and the inulin adds some sweetness.

I was using this stuff: http://www.chicorycup.com

Found it in a grocery store back in South Africa, but it seems to be imported. It's supposed to be pure roasted chicory root.
