Method

Pull the purslane leaves from the stalks; discard the woody stalks.
Heat the oil in a wide frying pan and add the garlic, chilli and sea purslane. Fry for 1 minute, then add the prawns. Cook for 2 minutes on each side until bright pink, then add the lemon zest, juice and white wine. Turn up the heat and simmer briskly for 3 minutes. Don’t cook off all the wine, as the acidity is key to this dish.
Remove from the heat and serve straight from the pan with hunks of fresh crusty baguette or sourdough.
