Spreadable cream of dandelion flowers

The meadows around the house are often full of these flowers, being the dandelion a very undemanding and ubiquitous plant!

All parts of the plant can be used in the kitchen: the taproots are excellent in oil, but they can also be dried and roasted to obtain a coffee substitute, the leaves lend themselves to different preparations, with the buds I produce a substitute for capers, and with flowers I usually made a "vegan honey" with sugar.

Seasoned with salt, here is the spreadable cream!

I eat it on bread:
