Calzones with Wild Dandelion Greens, Black Olives, and Almonds

Today, thanks to a beautiful sunny morning, we took a walk in the countryside. I took the opportunity to relax, enjoy the mild air that hints at spring, and also pick a nice bunch of wild dandelion greens. I had already thawed two portions of dough for my "Emergency Flatbreads" with the idea of making a delicious filling today. Well, the walk and the bunch of greens gave me the inspiration!

Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    Trim the dandelion greens, removing any bruised or damaged parts. Rinse thoroughly under running water and soak in cold water for 15 minutes. Drain, then boil in lightly salted water until the stems are tender but not falling apart. Drain and let air dry for a few minutes.

    While the greens are draining, roughly chop the unblanched almonds with a knife. Pit the black olives and cut them into large strips if needed.

    Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet. Add the dandelion greens, garlic powder, hot red pepper powder, and a pinch of salt. Sauté over high heat for 5-6 minutes until well flavored and most of the moisture has evaporated. Near the end, add the almonds and black olives and stir. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Take the portions of "Emergency Flatbread" dough and roll them out with a rolling pin to about 1/12 inch thick (2 mm) on a work surface dusted with extra-fine semolina flour. Divide the prepared greens between the two dough rounds, fold the dough over the filling, and seal the edges well, forming a decorative rope edge. Cut small slits on the surface to allow steam to escape during baking.

Sono una mamma, lavoratrice, che ha scelto di costruire un futuro migliore per la propria famiglia anche attraverso l'alimentazione e l'attenzione verso l'ambiente, perché siamo noi l'esempio per le prossime generazioni. Si pensa troppo spesso che seguire un'alimentazione biologica sia difficile, impegnativo e troppo costoso... nulla di più sbagliato! Il mio intento è dimostrare che basta solo volerlo e il cambiamento è a portata di mano. Migliorare le nostre abitudini alimentari è molto più facile di quanto si pensi: viviamo in un territorio ricco di tipicità, varietà e prodotti di qualità elevatissima! Basta iniziare da pochi e piccoli cambiamenti, un passo alla volta e si può arrivare anche molto lontano se si desidera!
