Purslane grows  everywhere in Turkey.  It  is  also known as Verdolaga, Pigweed, Little Hogweed or Pusley. In fact it is a kind of weed and it grows  naturaly. We use it as salad with every kind of  dish. Eating purslane is healty for everyone especially pregnants. Purslane has lots of nutritional benefits for our health because Purslane contains Omega 3, vitamin A, vitamin C,  vitamin B, magnesium, calcium, potassium and iron..
We sometimes pick up from garden or purchase from the bazaar. Today again my husband made this yummy Purslane Salad. Purslane Salad is made from purslane , garlic, yogurt and a pinch of salt.
Garlic is an important plant for everyone because Garlic prevents heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and cancer and also garlic has cardiovascular benefits.
This is the recipe of Purslane Salad:
Wash a bunch of purslane perfectly then cut them from the middle then take out of the root part after that put it in a bowl and pour water in it and add vinegar in it. Addding vinegar is good for the microbic organismas. Vinegar cleans the microbic organismas from the purslane and like other fresh weeds or vegetables. After cleaning, chop the purslane well and put it in a bowl then mash 3 or 4 cloves of garlic then add the mashed garlic  and  yogurt in it. Then sprinkle a pinch of salt in it  then mix them perfectly. It is ready. Purslane Salad  goes very well with Turkish Raki as a savory food. Enjoy.

Broccoli With Yoghurt

I went to cinema the previous day with my husband. The film finished at late hours. We arrived home at late hours too. Because of going to cinema just after my work we were very hungry. So we wanted to eat more food but this was unhealty. Because of this reason we decided to eat  a light dish. A wonderful idea came to my mind: Broccoli!

Broccoli is my favourite vegetable. we like to eat broccoli because of its flavour. We eat broccoli with yoghurt and we call this dish Broccoli With Yoghurt. Another reason of consuming  broccoli is health. Broccoli also contains vitamin C (high degree),vitamin K, multiple nutrients with potent anti-cancer properties and soluble fiber. Broccoli reduces the risk of prostate cancer. After all broccoli is eaten raw because if the broccoli is boiled it it reduces its anti cancer feature so you should eat broccoli raw.

We make Broccoli With Yoghurt by mashing garlic. And garlic is also a medicine storage. Garlic protects us from heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and atherosclerosis.

 In fact we can say that we make a medical dish

Ingredients :

• 250 gr broccoli
• 5-6 tbsp yoghurt
• 3 cloves garlic
• A pinch of salt

Broccoli With Yoghurt recipe:

Wash broccoli perfectly and dry it. Put broccoli pieces in a mixer and press the button. Wait until it bacomes small pieces. Peel the cloves of garlic and mash it in a bowl. Add yoghurt and a pinch of salt in it then stir it with adding broccoli until it gets smooth. You may also use this dish as a  hors d’oeuvre.

 Enjoy it.
