Category Ingredient Quantity Notes
Greens Fresh purslane 6 cups Leaves and tender stems
Fat Olive oil 2 tbsp For sautéing
Aromatics Garlic 3 cloves Thinly sliced
Heat Red pepper flakes ¼ tsp Optional
Seasoning Sea salt & lemon To taste Finishing touch

Instructions

1.Heat Aromatic Oil :2 minutes.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and optional red pepper flakes, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant and lightly golden.

2.Flash Sauté Purslane :3 minutes.

Add the purslane to the skillet. Toss continuously with tongs for 2 to 3 minutes just until wilted but still retaining a bright green color and slight crunch.

3.Season & Finish :1 minute.

Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Season with sea salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then serve warm.

Storage & Culinary Tips

  • Prevent Sliminess: When sautéing purslane, cook it rapidly on high heat for no more than 3 minutes; prolonged low-heat cooking causes its natural mucilage to break down and become sticky.

  • Washing Protocol: Because purslane grows low to the ground, submerge it in a large bowl of cold water twice to drop all sand and sediment before using.
