What is Boiled purslane with yogurt?
Boiled purslane with yogurt is a simple dish from Turkish home cooking: tender purslane is briefly boiled, drained and combined with yogurt. Garlic is often stirred into the yogurt, though it can be left out for a milder flavour.
The leaves become soft and slightly tangy, balanced by the cool, creamy yogurt. It is usually served chilled or at room temperature as a meze or side, especially in warm weather, and goes well alongside grilled foods or a larger spread of small dishes. This is a light vegetable dish with some protein from the yogurt; purslane is also noted for omega-3 fats and vitamin C. For a less rich version, use plain regular yogurt rather than a thicker, richer variety.
