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:

Aiiiyee, the stuff is a weed here. Make sure you pull it from edible sort of
ground, less insect sprays and so on. I think Logee's carries a foreign
variety that has thicker stalks. The Joy of Pickling has a recipe for
pickling it. Sounds interesting.
