What is Purslane stew with tomato paste?
Purslane stew with tomato paste is a Turkish home-style vegetable dish made by simmering purslane with tomato paste; some cooks also add onion and olive oil. Purslane has a gently tangy flavour, and the paste gives the stew a rich, savoury base.
The leaves become tender and succulent, so the dish works warm or at room temperature. In Turkey it may be served as part of a home meal, alongside rice or bread; a spoonful of yoghurt is another familiar accompaniment. It is a light, fibre-containing vegetable dish, with purslane also notable for its plant-based omega-3. Use oil sparingly for a lighter version, and avoid cooking the greens until they lose all their texture.
