Dandelion Salad with Pancetta is a Summertime Delight | Jacques Pépin Cooking at Home | KQED

[@johnlord8337]

Definitely can find an enormous amount of dandelions in the greater SanFran area !!! Just make sure they are far away from roads, rainwater drainage, and other land/water pollution. Dandelions are excellent for you - even 1 leaf a day makes for a healthy addition to any meal.

[@kqed]

Thank you for these added tips!

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

Ditto the Seattle area, as well. 👍

Tremendous amount here in New Jersey. All the old Italians used to pick it.

[@purleybaker]

Only Jacques says "sometimes I do it differently but I forgot". Thank you so much for everything you have taught me.

[@LowEndMarauder]

What a wonderful man. He's surely forgotten more about cooking than any of us have ever known. Thankfully most of his catalogue of work is archived on this very site. I love looking through the new segments just as much as when he had his own shows.

[@josephpanozzo4815]

Jacques Pepin is a cooking treasure.

[@nlbhaduri]

My mum used to prepare dandelion greens for us when we moved to America from Africa. She was a farm girl from a poor region in Latvija near Russia, but she had the best recipes for simple ingredients.

[@readymade83]

When I was a kid and my grandparents would visit in the spring my grandfather would ask us to get dandelions from the yard then he'd eat them or boil them for a salad. He was from southern Italy and that's what he did as a kid.

[@83devildog]

Yummmm. Salad made from yard weeds, anchovies, and bacon grease. What a masterpiece.

[@gsent56]

I pick dandelions from my yard and feed my tortoise with it. They love it

[@kqed]

I bet that is so cute 🐢🥬

Dandelion Salad with Pancetta of the gods!!! That looks good!!!

[@elfiealltree9119]

I have many memories of my grandmother in Europe going very early in the morning to our backyard, and using a small knife, digging out spring dandelions for a delicious salad, sometimes adding small cooked potatoes.... Yummy 😋

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Jacques on fire, lately. Great great videos. Blessings

[@chaddawgpanisi294]

chef Jacques Pepin 👍👍🇺🇲 Wednesday schedule

[@patriciagrier282]

Chef❤. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I've been watching you on PBS for years. ❤

[@mrcapitanemo]

I have a cat who was 16 years old. She had dandruff and dull fur. I started giving her dandelion for a month. After a month, she got rid of dandruff. And the fur became shiny like a young cat's. Dandelion given regularly works wonders.

[@zacharyliles8657]

Fried dandelion flowers are also a classic summer snack! Adore watching Jaques hope to continue watching him for many more years

[@patriciavincent5076]

Fabulous! I remember my mother would gather dandelions in the spring for the “spring tonic”.

[@bethelle9099]

Marvelous Jacques!!!!!!!

I am Indigenous Montagnard live in North Carolina dandelions grown everywhere in my yard they have beautiful flowers

[@LDHBees]

I am enjoying these videos with Chef Pepin so much! it's such a joy to watch him in the kitchen - and he makes it all seem so natural and easy - not intimidating at all. I've already bookmarked several recipes to try - and THIS is one of them! Here in Alabama we have dandelions everywhere in the spring and all summer long and bacon? yes! I'll try this one for sure. Thank you KQED for sharing these special programs with all of us.

[@kqed]

Thanks for watching! Let us know how the salad turns out.

[@Idontwantachannel67]

They eat them in spring before the dandelions get tough and too bitter from the heat of summer.

[@nicolecohen4216]

I helped my grandmother gather and clean dandelions, she made dressing of vinegar bacon with a pinch of sugar - an enduring summer delight ! Love Jacques recipes

[@malemanmikeswife]

This is awesome! I have always been skeptical of trying dandelions, but that salad looks delicious. Thanks for sharing a bit of your childhood with us, Chef!

[@pwp8737]

Dandelions are very underrated. I love them blanched, then sautéed in olive oil, garlic, capers and finished with lemon juice.

[@Saba15-t9d]

​@@pwp8737 that sounds delightful as well 👌

[@J3TF1RE]

4:40 - Jacques’ “father was a very big dandelion”. I love Jacques and watch all of his videos but this little slip of the tongue had me laughing a lot. It’s so wonderfully absurd an idea.

[@gettem6341]

I like that you are using dandelions you picked yourself, too many are buying this at the super market, no good.

[@111usul]

this is the real food

[@elizabethmitchell0071]

Yum! My family(ancestors) have always used dandelion in cooking...they were known for trading their dandelion wine( which i still make)😊 for edibles for dinner😊 i use dandelion leaves in a sautéing mix with mushrooms and add spinach. The roots i use to macerate in 100 proof vodka as a tincture.

[@1p6t1gms]

My old neighbor would make dandelion wine at this time of year, it was fairly potent to drink. I think I will stick with the salad Jacques has made from his youthful years.

[@dankanon3785]

these videos are so comforting. It's like if i was cooking with my grandpa. Thank you Mr. Pepin

[@majoroldladyakamom6948]

This looks so good, Chef. You are truly a Master. My folks have some property in the low mountains east of Seattle. They do not fertilize their grass because of the wildlife (deer families, bears, raccoons, hawks and eagles), so I pick their dandelion leaves for them to use in soups and salads. Mom will be 85, and dad will be 84 this year. Cherish them while we can, right? We cherish you, Jacques. You are truly a Global Treasure. ⚘

[@beeeps]

Thanks for the recipe Chef Pepin!

[@deborahcaldwell9775]

Nice I love dandelion grees

[@TheDerangedBlood]

Merci! I'm going to try this.

[@davidbrothers3788]

My dad knew a guy who owned a bar that he went to a lot and he made dandelion wine all the time and would only serve it to his best customers I guess it was some pretty potent stuff

[@chrisandersen5635]

Wow. This is new to me. I don’t remember hearing about eating dandelions or their benefits. Fascinating.

In the German border region to France (the Saarland) the "pissenlit" is called "Bettseicher" in the local dialect. Which means exactly the same and refers to its diuretic properties 😁

That would be good with a poached egg on top.....like salad Lyonaise . I eat dandelion quite often myself.

[@geekwithabs]

I never knew you could fry a salad in so much oil. Just kidding.. just kidding... it looks delicious 😃

[@smzig]

I would have never thought dandelions were culinarily valuable.

[@tareqzeidalkilani949]

dandelion salad is a bit more complicated in Palestine kitchen> we cook it in hot water to reduce bitterness, then we fry and do whatever we want>

[@kqed]

Fried dandelions sound good. Honestly, fried anything sounds good to us.

I know this is about Dandelions, but could u substitute Arugula? for the green.

Im read it without my glasses as salad with placenta 😳🤯😮‍💨😬🤤

Did Jaques touched the hot bacon 🥓 directly from the hot frying 🍳with his bare hand???

[@stevep5408]

Dandelion is the first plant to grow in spring. It makes a great spring tonic! No thing sweet? Isn't it bitter?

[@kqed]

Raw dandelion is a bitter green, similar to chicory. The added savory and salty elements of the bacon and anchovy paste probably offset it nicely. Let us know if you give it a try.

[@joannaedwards6325]

​@@kqed Can be sauteed in butter with onions and garlic then top with a bit of ketchup and lemon juice to offset bitterness.

[@bigpoppa1234]

Dandelion is a bit hard to find, I might just make it with the bacon, garlic & eggs.

[@joannaedwards6325]

Baby spinach is a good substitute. Raw or sauteed.

[@u.e.u.e.]

Make sure that you pick them from where dogs are likely to have been!

Is there a reason you didn't deglaze the pan with the vinegar insted?

[@divpuiak]

I guess... Because it's a salad after all, he doesn't want to bring too much burned flavours from the pan. Cheers 🍷

In the uk I always thought these were weeds?

Surely "pissenlit," not "pissentil," no?

[@generic53]

He makes it looks so easy and he's so smooth with his movements. G.O.A.T. But, while the bacon grease is very tasty, it's VERY bad for you.

[@patrickmurray9409]

What we consider as weeds, go figure.

A nuclear bomb of cholesterol. Bacon, eggs and anchovy paste all together with butter will surely get you a nice heart attack in the future.
