Sea purslane has a wasabi-like heat and it goes well with fairly starch main ingredients such as potatoes or beans. Here it works well in an Indian-inspired fusion dish of red lentils where it adds extra pungency to the rogan josh paste.

Ingredients:

1 onion (finely diced)
5 garlic cloves (sliced)
4 handfuls sea purslane
2 tbsp of rogan josh masala paste
8ozs red lentils
675ml water
Coconut oil

Method:

Place a wok or deep pan over medium heat. Once hot add the coconut oil and use to fry the onion for about 12 minutes, until softened and just starting to colour a golden brown.

Now add the thinly-sliced garlic and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Stir in the rogan josh masala and fry for 30 seconds before adding the sea purslane.

Stir in the red lentils and the water then bring to a simmer, cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until the lentils are soft and the excess water has been absorbed.

Serve hot accompanied by rice or chapathis.
