Lamb’s-quarter, or wild spinach, is very common and can easily be found in most seasons. The leaves retain their nutty, sweet flavor even when the plant is very large and going to seed. Collect at least one heaping cup of leaves per guest, as the leaves will cook down.

Super easy

Oil
1 cups fresh lamb’s-quarter leaves
Sautéed Lamb’s-Quarter Directions

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add lamb’s-quarter and stir continuously for 3–4 minutes, until leaves are slightly wilted. Serve immediately.
