Purslane and Lake County's The Veggie Girl

Esther Oërtel, "TheVeggieGirl," writes for online Lake County News. She recently wrote about purslane which is very nutritious and overlooked as a food and cultivar in the United States. It's delicious, and we buy it canned at the local Mexican grocery stores. She bought hers at a Farmer's Market, and it was grown by Full Moon Farm in Kelseyville, CA.

RECIPE:

Mexican Beef Ribs with Purslane (Costillas de Res con Verdolagas, Estilo Mexicano)

Buy at least several pounds of the Mexican ribs, (cut differently from what you get in non-Mexican markets). Boil them until tender. Add the can of Verdolagas and heat. You can add some onion, if you want.

That is all. The verdolagas are canned with chili and have a slightly sour flavor.

íQué comas bién!
