Prep		 A very tasty jumbled egg mix, one of my favorites. I use only a small amount of hot sauce to avoid masking the flavors..

    Prep
  1. Wash PURSLANE thoroughly and strip leaves and tender tips from the thicker stems. The 1/3 cup measure is for leaves and tips packed fairly tight.
  2. Slice ONION thin and chop fine.
  3. Beat EGGS lightly with Salt.
    4. Run
  4. Heat Lard in a well seasoned iron skillet. Stir in Onion, then Purslane and fry stirring until onion is translucent.
  5. Stir in Eggs. As they solidify break them up and turn them until fairly firm but not overdone.
  6. Check salt to taste and serve hot with your hot sauce or salsa of choice.
NOTES:
  1. Purslane:   This herb/vegetable can be found in markets serving Mexican, Greek, Turkish or Middle Eastern communities. For details see my Purslane page.
  2. Lard:   Yup, lard - it isn't nearly as bad as the deadly trans fats they told you were healthier, and you survived those (we hope). Tthe eggs don't stick as much with lard, but you can use pure olive oil instead. For details see my Lard Page.
  3. U.S. measure: t=teaspoon, T=Tablespoon, c=cup, qt=quart, oz=ounce, #=pound, cl=clove in=inch
