A low-water purslane dish is made by cooking washed purslane with onion and tomato in a covered pan, letting the leaves release their own moisture. Stir occasionally and avoid adding water unless the pan starts to catch.
A low-water purslane dish usually contains purslane, onion, tomato, olive oil, and salt. Garlic or tomato paste can be added for extra flavor, but the greens provide the moisture that cooks the dish.
It is called a low-water purslane dish because the purslane cooks in the moisture released by the greens instead of being simmered in a generous amount of added water. Keeping the lid on helps retain that moisture.
Yes, a low-water purslane dish is often served with yogurt, including garlic yogurt. Serve the yogurt alongside or add it just before eating, rather than mixing it into a portion you plan to store.
Yes, rice can be added to a low-water purslane dish, but it absorbs liquid as it cooks. Add it with that in mind and check the pan; you may need a little extra water to keep the rice from sticking.
A low-water purslane dish goes well with plain yogurt, flatbread, or a grain side such as bulgur. For a simple meal, serve it with yogurt and bread so the vegetable dish remains the focus.
Yes, a low-water purslane dish can be made with ground meat. Brown the meat with onion first, then add the tomato and purslane and cook covered; the meat version is heartier than the olive-oil-only dish.
Store a low-water purslane dish in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled. Do not leave it sitting at room temperature for an extended time, and reheat only the portion you intend to eat.
Yes, you can freeze a low-water purslane dish, though the purslane may become softer and release liquid after thawing. Freeze it in an airtight container, thaw it in the refrigerator, and heat it through before serving.
A low-water purslane dish can be eaten hot, at room temperature, or cold. The olive-oil version is especially easy to serve chilled; add any yogurt at serving time rather than before storage.

A low-water purslane dish is a Turkish home-style preparation of fresh purslane, cooked with little added water so the leaves soften in their own juices. Some versions include onion and tomato, though the ingredients vary from kitchen to kitchen.
The leaves turn tender but can retain a slight bite, with purslane’s pleasantly tangy, fresh flavour. In Turkey it may be served warm or cool as a vegetable side, often alongside a meal or with yoghurt. It is a fibre-containing, vegetable-led choice; use a measured amount of oil and add lemon for a lighter, bright-tasting plate.
Very 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.
