Bob, I think it's nice paired with those soba noodles and whatever
else.
Adds a tiny bit of crunch. I usually put a little of whatever leftover
meat
or veggies or in the fridge, along with some soup base or broth.

Or you can try this New Mexican way of preparing purslane (verdolaga)

2 cups purslane
4 tbs fat (lard is good here) or 1/2 cup diced salt pork
2 tbs chopped onion
1 cup shredded cooked meat (jerky preferred)
1 tsp ground coriander seed
salt to taste

Wash purslane leaving stems. Fry onion in fat; add purslane and meat.
Season. Cover and cook until tender.


Serve wrapped in hot flour tortillas? :-d

You could do that. Or serve it on fresh fry bread or with rice.


Rice sounds good...

I was just thinking "Texas style".
That recipe almost sounds like a taco meat recipe. Just needs more
additions such as Garlic and Cumin.
