Purslane with yogurt is a cold Turkish dish made by combining purslane with seasoned yogurt, often with garlic. Depending on the recipe, the purslane is briefly cooked or used raw, and the dish is served as a side or appetizer.
To make purslane with yogurt, wash and trim the purslane, then briefly cook it or leave it raw and chop it. Drain it well, cool it if cooked, and fold it into thick yogurt with garlic; add herbs or a drizzle of oil if you like.
Yes, purslane can be eaten raw in purslane with yogurt. Wash and dry the leaves thoroughly, then chop them before mixing; the result is crunchier and more salad-like than versions made with cooked purslane.
Purslane has a mildly tangy, fresh taste and juicy, slightly crisp leaves in purslane with yogurt. Its gentle flavor pairs well with creamy yogurt, garlic, and fresh herbs.
No, purslane with yogurt is not the same as cacık. Purslane is the main vegetable in this dish, while cacık is commonly made with cucumber and thinned yogurt; recipes for both vary by household.
Yes, Greek yogurt works well for purslane with yogurt because its thick texture helps the dish stay creamy. If it is too thick to coat the leaves, stir in a small splash of water.
No, purslane does not have to be cooked before adding it to yogurt. Brief cooking softens the leaves, while using them raw keeps more crunch; either way, drain or dry them well to avoid watery yogurt.
Purslane with yogurt keeps for up to two days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keep it chilled, and avoid leaving the yogurt-based dish at room temperature for an extended time.
Freezing purslane with yogurt is not recommended because thawing can make the yogurt separate and the leaves turn limp. For better texture, prepare the dish fresh or refrigerate it for a short time.
Purslane with yogurt works well as a cool side dish alongside grilled meat, kebabs, rice, or other savory mains. It can also be served as part of a spread with bread and other small plates.

Purslane with yogurt is a home-style dish associated with southeastern Turkey, where purslane—known locally as pirpirim—is chopped and mixed with yogurt. Some cooks add garlic and a little olive oil; recipes vary, and the greens may be used raw or briefly cooked before mixing.
Cool, tangy yogurt softens purslane’s fresh, slightly tart flavour, making the dish a refreshing meze or side, especially in warm weather. It also works alongside grilled foods or simply with bread. Yogurt contributes protein and calcium, while purslane is notable for omega-3; use a modest drizzle of oil if you want to keep the dish light.
