Purslane/verdolagas is an invasive weed in many gardens. It's saving grace is that the best way to control it is to eat it. This vegetable green used in many Latin American countries. It is also popular as a salad green in France and other European countries, having similar taste and consistency to watercress. Verdolaga is also valued in Latin America for its medicinal properties. Purslane should be thoroughly washed and drained before using. Courtesy of the Chicago Examiner.

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, peeled and diced
2 cups purslane (large stems removed, 1 1/2-inch inch pieces)
1/2 large tomatoes, diced
1 serrano peppers or 1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded and diced
1 -2 garlic clove, peeled and minced
salt and pepper, to taste
corn tortilla, hot
queso fresco
salsa (optional)

Steps:

  • Beat eggs with whisk or fork; season with salt and pepper and set to the side.
  • Heat large skillet on medium-high heat; add oil.
  • Sauté onion for 1 to 2 minutes until it starts to become translucent.
  • Add purslane; stir to cook for another 2 minutes.
  • Add diced tomato, chile and garlic; sauté about 1 minute to reduce the juice from the fresh tomato.
  • Using a spatula, push the purslane mixture to the sides to make a space to scramble the eggs.
  • Scramble the eggs for another few minutes; mix the eggs and purslane together. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Serve warm with corn tortillas and topped with queso fresco and salsa (preferably salsa verde).

Tips:

  • Choose tender purslane: Select young, tender purslane leaves for the best flavor and texture. Avoid older, fibrous leaves, as they can be tough and bitter.
  • Wash purslane thoroughly: Purslane can often have dirt and grit, so be sure to wash it thoroughly before using. Rinse the leaves in several changes of cold water, gently swirling them to dislodge any dirt or debris.
  • Cook purslane quickly: Purslane cooks quickly, so don't overcook it. Overcooked purslane can become slimy and lose its flavor.
  • Add purslane at the end of cooking: Add purslane to the dish towards the end of cooking to preserve its nutrients and color.
  • Experiment with different flavors: Huevos con verdolagas is a versatile dish that can be customized to your taste. Try adding different herbs, spices, or vegetables to create unique flavor combinations.
