Purslane Is Tastier Than Meat! Neighbors from Turkey Taught Me How to Cook This Wild Weed (Page 2 ) | April 26, 2025

2 handfuls of fresh purslane (washed and trimmed)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1-2 ripe tomatoes, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2–3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: a squeeze of lemon or spoon of plain yogurt to serve
Instructions:

Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion until soft.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add diced tomatoes and cook until they break down into a light sauce.
Add the purslane and stir gently. Let it wilt and cook for 5–7 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper. Optional: drizzle with lemon or serve with a spoon of yogurt on the side.
Why It’s Better Than Meat (Sometimes!)
