Wild Pizza

Ingredients

>> Premade pizza shell or pita
>> 8 cups of wild greens (packed tightly)
>> 2 onions medium sized finely chopped
>> 3 tbsps. olive oil or butter
>> 1/2 cup sour cream
>> 1 egg
>> 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
>> Pinch ground cloves
>> Pinch cayenne
>> 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
>> 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions

(Recommended greens include: plantain, dandelion, wild lettuce, garlic mustard and lamb’s quarters.)

Preheat oven to 450° F.

Chop greens and place in a small amount of water, boil until tender and wilted. Older greens may be boiled more than once in a change of water to lessen bitterness if desired. Drain well. Once cooled, squeeze out excess liquid.

Sauté onions in oil or butter until soft. Add in greens and sauté about 5 minutes.

In a bowl beat egg and sour cream. Add cloves, nutmeg, cayenne, parmesan cheese, sautéed onions and greens.

Spread evenly on premade pizza shell or pita, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Cook for 15 minutes or when cheese starts to bubble

I grow milk weeds. The bees love the flowers, the Monarch Butterflies need the plant to lay eggs on and feed the Larva stage.
