Ingredients 

250-300 grams fresh purslane

A pot with boiling water

Salt to taste

2-3 tbs olive oil ( not extra virgin)

1-2 tbs vinegar, I used balsamic, use anything you prefer




1-2 cloves of garlic, minced

½ tsp ground black pepper

A bowl with ice cold water  

Directions 

Wash the purslane thoroughly , cut the tips from stems

Add salt to the boiling water and pour the entire purslane into the pot

Have the ice cold water standing by

In a small bowl quickly combine olive oil, vinegar, black pepper and garlic, mix to combine

Cook the purslane only for 2-3 minutes

Using a strainer spatula, remove the cooked greens and place immediately into ice cold water, 1-2 minutes

Strain and place in your serving dish, drizzle with dressing , toss and enjoy

*It will be a good idea to let it set and marinate for 25-30 minutes, I can never wait that long:)
