How to Make Lambsquarters
- Finely chop 1/2 medium yellow onion.
- Wash 1 pound of lambsquarters thoroughly, removing any tough stems.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
- Remove the cooked onions from the pan and set aside, covering to keep warm.
- Add the washed lambsquarters to the same pan. Add 2 tablespoons of water and cover. Steam for 2-3 minutes, or until tender but still bright green, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cooked onions, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Gently toss the cooked lambsquarters with the onion mixture.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds (optional).
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
