STAR CHICKWEED

Here's a very simple, super-delicious way of preparing a chickweed side dish in a hurry. Serve hot over whole-grain noodles or toast.

12 cups chickweed, rinsed, drained, and chopped
1 tbs. olive oil, or to taste
1-1?2 tsp. lemon juice
æ tsp. salt, or to taste
‡ tsp. black pepper, or to taste

1. Steam the chickweed over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, or until just wilted (avoid overcooking), covered, in a heavy saucepan, without any more water than what clings to the leaves after rinsing and draining, and without a steamer rack!

2. Stir in the remaining ingredients and heat to serving temperature.

Serves 6

Preparation time: 15 minutes
