Eat Your Weeds

Just a friendly reminder to remember that one person's weed is another's lettuce.  Purslane is about and in abundance.  The succulent tang of this rock weed is wonderful with soft shell crabs and a perfect accent to ricotta drizzled with honey.  These tiny, succulent plants are juicy with a lightly sweet flavor that melts into a gently tangy finish. We tend to use them in their natural state, although they can be sauteed or added to soups and stews.  Do not miss the opportunity to incorporate these fine florets into your latest and greatest culinary compositions.
