We have purslane as an ornamental during hot weather. Too bad, it is watered with reclaimed water, I'd be afraid to harvest. What an unusual dish. Thanks for the post.


I found it in my garden and was told the best way to control this weed is to eat it. I sure don't have to cultivate it. this looks good.


Greeks eat purslane like Americans eat spinach. I love it and it is great for the immune system!!


Cool one try to serve it next to rice


Dude, this is CONSTANTLY springing up in my garden!! I call it my nemesis but I did read you can eat it - in a great book called 'Animal, Vegetable, Miracle' by Barbara Kingsolver.

I suppose I should stop chickening out and try it!! You're a great adventure cook. I'll let you know if/when I try it!

I guess I'm just going to have to go out to my garden and see if I have some ;-)

Thank You -- Ray
