Christina, something happened to the website and (at least today) the recipe isn't shown. It only has the first 2 ingredients and the rest is chopped off. Would love if we can get the entire recipe back! Thanks

I was so excited when i found thisrecipe. All i have is a quick written recipe with no instructions. I remember my grandmother boiling theSavoy cabbage first just a little then drain out well then added it to olive oil and lots of garlic. She would also add kidney beans and potatoes. The next day she would add stale Italian bread omg so good!

This was really, really good! When I was making it I wondered what possessed me to try it, thinking maybe it would bomb. But I think it's delicious and have gone back for a second helping. I went right to the 'second day' instructions with the bread pieces cooked in with olive oil. Just added a bit more pepper (and a bit more salt). Thoroughly enjoyable and healthy. Thank you!

I should add that I made this with homemade vegetable broth and subbed escarole, since I couldn't find dandelion greens.
