Purslane, known as verdolagas, tastes like a cross between spinach and cucumbers. Verdolagas are very common in Mexican kitchens, especially in pork stews. Comfort food at its best!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork ribs, cut into 2-inch sections
- 1 pound boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ cup water
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 onion, quartered
- 6 tomatillos, husked and quartered
- 2 serrano chile peppers
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- water to cover
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 bunches purslane
Directions
Step 1
Combine pork ribs, pork shoulder, water, and salt in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Continue cooking and stirring constantly until all liquid has evaporated and pork has browned, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2
Combine onion, tomatillos, serrano peppers, and cilantro in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until tomatillos are tender and have changed color, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer vegetable mixture to a blender; add garlic and and blend carefully until sauce is smooth.
Step 3
Pour sauce into the Dutch oven, season stew with salt and pepper, and simmer for 1 hour. Add purslane and simmer until pork is tender and purslane is soft, about 20 minutes more.
