Purslane with yogurt and minced meat is a Turkish home-style dish of tender purslane leaves and stems cooked with minced meat, often starting with sautéed onion, then served with yogurt on top or alongside. Purslane has a gently tangy, juicy quality that balances the savoury meat.
In Turkey it is commonly served warm for lunch or dinner, with bread or rice; elsewhere, it makes an easy main meal or a substantial side. The meat and yogurt contribute protein, while purslane adds omega-3. For a lighter version, choose lean minced meat and plain yogurt, and add the yogurt just before serving.
