Fried Purslane

Directions

1. 1
   Collect the tender new tips of purslane, about the last two or three-inches from the stems.
2. 2
   Rinse these in water to remove any sand.
3. 3
   Roll them or shake them in flour until thoroughly floured, and then dip in the beaten eggs.
4. 4
   Next cover each purslane stalk with bread crumbs.
5. 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.
