Chicken with Purslane Stew

What it is
A rustic and flavorful chicken stew where tender pieces of bone-in chicken (typically thighs or drumsticks) are braised with fresh purslane (tsitsernak), garlic, and sometimes a small amount of diced tomatoes or onions. The purslane provides a unique, slightly tangy and lemony flavor that complements the rich chicken.
Key ingredients
Chicken thighs/drumsticks, fresh purslane, garlic, olive oil, onion (optional), tomatoes (optional), salt, black pepper, water or chicken broth.
Optional tweaks
Ensure no potatoes, rice, or other starchy vegetables are added to the stew. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the flavors.
Watch out for
Small amount from onion/tomato if used heavily; ensure no starchy sides are served with the stew. Confirm no sugar is added to balance tomato acidity.
