When the water is boiling, drop the dandelion greens into the water for 20 seconds. Using a large spatula or pasta drainer, remove the dandelion greens and place them on paper towels to drain. They will be looking pretty darn pathetic at this point, but don't fret.

Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a pan along with the chopped red onion. Stir the red onion as it sautes over a medium flame. Let onion saute for about 15 minutes or so.
