I was never fond of purslane when I was young but reading about its properties made me think and I decided to give it a second chance. I made a salad which I will post another day and a Purslane Pesto. I am glad I decided to try it.

Ingredients
- 1 cup of purslane leaves
- 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 4 spoonfuls of lemon juice
- Salt (not much as feta is salty)
- Feta Cheese (a piece about 6X6X2 cm)
- Roasted Pine Nuts (a large handful)
Directions
- Roast pine nuts in a non stick frying pan for just a few minutes being careful as they burn easily and when roasted on both sides set aside until they cool down.
- Combine all the ingredients (except feta and pine nuts) and half the olive oil in a blender or food processor. Start blending and then add the pine nuts, feta, and the remaining olive oil slowly-checking for the consistency that you prefer. If you have the option drizzle the olive oil as you blend
- It makes about 1 cup of pesto which can be eaten fresh (within 3-4 days preserved in the refrigerator) and/or frozen for later use.
- We were very hungry so I forgot to take a picture but I still had the remaining half in the refrigerator.

I love this since the purslane is free.
The addition of feta cheese is nice too.

Thanks trigger for the rating. Lucky you to get purslane free, because in the city we pay for it (lol).

Awesome pictures! I haven't tried this so where do I get the purslane leaves. I do love a good pesto.

Purslane is also called verdolaga in many places or Rose Moss. If you have a garden, search for it there as it grows everywhere and many people consider it as a weed, but it is not. I guess the best place to get it is the farmers' market. Thanks for the voting.
