Purslane Stew with Ground Beef is a Turkish home-style dish made by simmering purslane leaves and tender stems with browned minced beef, onion and tomato. Purslane has a gently tangy, fresh flavour and a succulent texture; as it cooks, the greens soften into the lightly brothy sauce while the meat makes the dish more substantial.
In Turkey it is commonly served warm for lunch or dinner, often with rice, bread or a spoonful of yogurt. For English-speaking readers, it also works as a simple one-pot meal alongside crusty bread or grains. The combination gives you leafy-vegetable fibre as well as protein from the beef. Use a little less oil and beef if you would like a lighter bowl.
