Steps to Cook Purslane Like Grandma

Prepare the Purslane: Begin by rinsing the purslane thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. It’s important to use only the leaves and tender stems, as the thicker stems can be too fibrous.
Cook the Base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are soft and translucent. This builds a flavor foundation that enhances the purslane.
Add the Tomatoes and Purslane: Mix in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they start to break down and form a sauce. Then, add the purslane, stirring well to combine with the tomato mixture.
Simmer: Pour in the vegetable broth or water, bring the mixture to a simmer, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes. The purslane should be tender but still have a bit of crunch.
Season: Season the dish with salt, pepper, and if desired, a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs before serving. This dish is wonderful on its own or as a side to a main meal.
