Chili purslane sauté is made by cooking chopped purslane in olive oil with onion and chili until tender. Wash the leaves and stems thoroughly, and drain them well. Purslane releases moisture as it cooks, so you usually do not need to add much water.
Chili purslane sauté tastes fresh and slightly tangy, with a tender, leafy texture and a warm kick from the chili. The exact heat varies with the chili used, and a squeeze of lemon can brighten the finished dish.
Yes, the tender stems are edible and are commonly cooked along with the leaves in chili purslane sauté. Remove any tough, woody ends, then chop the remaining stems so they cook evenly with the leafy parts.
No, chili purslane sauté is generally cooked with less liquid and has a drier, pan-cooked texture. Turkish purslane stew is often made with tomato and more liquid. Home recipes vary, but the difference is usually the cooking style and consistency.
Use less chili, or leave it out, to make chili purslane sauté milder. Add a small amount first and taste as it cooks; yogurt served alongside also softens the contrast of the chili without changing how the purslane is prepared.
Yes, yogurt is a good accompaniment to chili purslane sauté. Its cool, mild taste balances the heat, so serve it on the side or spoon it over the dish once it has cooled slightly.
Yes, eggs make a common variation of chili purslane sauté. Once the purslane has softened, crack an egg into the pan and stir it through, or cover the pan and cook until the egg is set.
Store leftover chili purslane sauté in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled, and eat it within a few days. Reheat it in a pan until hot, and avoid leaving cooked food at room temperature for a long time.
Yes, you can freeze chili purslane sauté, although the purslane may be softer and release more water after thawing. Freeze it in airtight portions, thaw it in the refrigerator, and warm it in a pan before serving.
Some omega-3 fats in purslane may be affected by prolonged heating, so avoid cooking chili purslane sauté longer than needed to soften the leaves. A brief sauté is a practical way to keep the texture tender without extended cooking.

Chili purslane sauté is a Turkish home-style dish of purslane cooked until tender, commonly with onion and tomato, then seasoned with pul biber, Turkish red pepper flakes. Purslane has a fresh, gently tart flavour; its leaves soften while the stems can retain a little bite.
It is served warm or at room temperature as a vegetable side or part of a meze spread, often alongside bread or rice. A source of fibre, omega-3 and vitamin C, it brings leafy vegetables to the plate without feeling heavy. Use a measured amount of olive oil and avoid cooking it for too long if you prefer a lighter sauté with some texture.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
