To make a Çaşir herb dish, wash and trim the greens, briefly boil them if desired, drain well, then cook them with softened onion. Some regional versions add egg or serve the cooked greens with yogurt.
A Çaşir herb dish has a distinctive green, slightly sharp flavor that can vary with the plant and its maturity. Cooking the greens with onion mellows their edge, while yogurt makes a cooling accompaniment.
The Çaşir herb dish belongs to regional food traditions in Turkey where wild çaşir grows and is gathered, particularly in eastern parts of the country. Families and local cooks may use different names and preparation methods.
Boiling the greens briefly before making a Çaşir herb dish is a common way to soften them and mellow a strong taste. Drain them thoroughly before sautéing so the finished dish does not become watery.
Yes, some versions of a Çaşir herb dish include eggs. Stir beaten egg into the cooked greens, or crack an egg over them and cook until set; the egg is an optional regional variation, not an essential ingredient.
