Instructions

  1. Collect the tender new tips of purslane, about the last two or three-inches from the stems.

  3. Roll them or shake them in flour until thoroughly floured, and then dip in the beaten eggs.
  4. Next cover each purslane stalk with bread crumbs.
  5. This process is easiest to do if you simply line up the three dishes of flour, eggs and bread crumbs and do the breading production-line-style.
