Default Purslane

I've been weeding my garden today, after almost 2 weeks of rain --
following 2 months of drought. I've pulled up a couple of pounds of
purslane (there's more out there) and wondering what to do with it. I
know it is edible and supposed to be very nutritious.

Any ideas?

I'll probably stirfry some of it with onions, hot peppers, steamed brown
rice, and a little bit of breakfast sausage.

Thanks,
Bob



It's good on salads. And, the stuff's really healthy to eat:
