Purslane (pirpirim grass), which is widely grown in temperate climates, is a medicinal herb of Asian origin and used in Chinese medicine. It can be eaten anywhere except the root of the plant, including leaves, stems, flowers and seeds. Also known as pirpirim vaccine in Gaziantep and Malatya regions, this soup is known as "sour purslane soup", as sumac syrup is used beyond the taste of purslane itself. Bon appetit!

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Finely chop the purslane stalks you have cleaned and washed.
-
Put the butter in a saucepan and fry the onions and garlic until they turn pink. Add the chopped dill stems and turn them together for 1-2 turns. Add 4-5 cups of hot water and add washed broken rice, salt and pepper. Cook your soup on medium heat until the purslane stalks soften.
-
For its dressing, whisk the egg yolk, flour and lemon juice well in a bowl. Add the cooked soup little by little to the seasoning, while continuing to whisk.
-
Add the warm seasoning to the soup little by little, bring it to a boil over low heat and remove from the fire. Serve hot, garnished with parsley and chili peppers, if desired. Enjoy your meal!

Note: Rice may swell over time and your soup may thicken. In such a case, you can thin the soup by adding hot water. For a more tart taste, lemon juice or sumac syrup can be added.
