Purslane and red pepper sauté brings together tender purslane leaves and stems with sweet red pepper in a simple pan-cooked dish familiar in Turkish home cooking. Purslane has a juicy, slightly tangy bite, while the pepper softens and adds sweetness; the sauté can be served warm or at room temperature.
In Turkey, it is often eaten as a light meal or alongside bread or bulgur, and may be served with yogurt. The vegetables provide fibre and plant-based omega-3. For a lighter version, use a modest amount of olive oil, and add a squeeze of lemon just before serving to brighten the flavour.
