Two islands and two dishes. Alexander Miller is my younger brother. We both caught wild pigs.
My dish was smoked meat with blueberry jam, sweet onions, garlic, green onions and garlic chives with a rice ball. Plate up and photo by Lisa Menor Miller and smoking done my a buddy Scully!
Alex’s dish was classic cooked with modern technology! Pork with the fat left on sprinkled with Pa'akai (Hawaiian word for salt), wrapped kalo lau then in ti leaf and tied with twine, steamed in a instapot using steam function twice for about 2 hours.
Shoulder of Wild pig slow cooked for 8 hours with a Tequila and lime rub, followed by a little bit of beef bouillon, onions, carrots, potatoes, and a bouquet garni of basil, parsley and rosemary. We mashed potatoes with cream, butter, and salt & pepper. Lisa reduced the stock, adding red wine and thickened to make a wonderful gravy! There was no wild flavor.

Today in the back yard I spotted a weed growing.
I was taught by my grandparents that Purslane is plant you could eat.
Chef Ronnie has used it in dishes for wine dinners at Tiki’s Grill & Bar.
Have you tried it?
Here is a great read from:
For comprehensive information (e.g. nutrition, medicinal values, recipes, history, harvesting tips, etc.) Purslane PDF magazine.
IMPORTANT: a similar plant named "hairy-stemmed spurge" is poisonous. Click here for more information.
Purslane is a succulent annual trailing plant that grows in many countries because it thrives in poor soil. It can be eaten as a cooked vegetable and is great to use in salads, soups, stews or any dish you wish to sprinkle it over. Purslane is antibacterial, antiscorbutic, depurative, diuretic and febrifuge. The leaves are a very rich source of omega-3 fatty acids which prevents heart attacks and strengthens the immune system.
Distinguishing Features
This nutritious weed has a distinctive thick, reddish stem and succulent, green leaves.

Flowers
Purslane has yellow flowers that occur singly or in small terminal clusters. When fully open, each flower is about .5 cm(¼") across, consisting of five petals, two green sepals, numerous yellow stamens, and several pistils that appear together in the centre of the flower. These flowers open up for a few hours during bright sunny mornings. Purslane flowers bloom from mid-summer through the early fall and lasts about 1 to 2 months. Each flower is replaced by a seed capsule that splits open around the middle to release the numerous small, black seeds.
