Author Notes

This is a typical grandma dish. Earthy, warm and comforting. A perfect bowl of nutritious delight that will send you right back to your childhood, only if you were a child in Turkey that is:)) To begin with we call purslane a vegetable not a weed, and it is a staple vegetable in Turkish Cuisine..The kind that we grow in Turkey has more succulent and larger light green leaves but wild purslane is much more delicious than the grown varieties.. —Gamze Mutfakta (Piper Nigrum)
