The Barcelona Mystery Green
Some help? Anyone?
Anybody know this vegetable? It's crisp, watery, slightly salty and covered in a bumpy, translucent skin that looks like perma-dew.
We discovered it first in our fresh mesclun mix from the big Barcelona Boqueria. Later, we found a vendor who sold them alongside sea beans and arugula. She said it was a local Spanish plant with a very long name.
It's tasty and fascinating, but we haven't used it in anything other than fresh salads. If anyone knows this green and has tips on use, I'd be happy to hear all about it!

Didn't you post this question before?
It looks like a type of purslane to me.
Oh, and I tend to read your blog via its feed, but clicked over for this post, and noticed the design changed, and not for the better. Your sidebar is below the content (assuming that's not normal).
Let me know if you ever want to convert to a real blogging platform, WordPress. (contact form on my site if interested, and no, this is not spam!)
