Lolez with olive oil is a Turkish home-style dish of seasonal wild greens gently cooked with olive oil. Lolez is a local name for the greens, and recipes like this make use of the edible plants gathered in season rather than relying on a single widely standardised variety.
The greens soften as they cook, while olive oil brings a rounded richness that complements their earthy, slightly bitter flavour. Serve it warm or at room temperature as a side or part of a meze spread, with lemon and bread if you like. The greens contribute fibre and vitamin K, while the oil makes the dish more substantial. For a fuller plant-based meal, pair it with beans or lentils.

Lolez with Olive Oil is a dish of edible wild greens gently cooked with olive oil. The exact greens and other ingredients can vary between regional and household recipes.
To make Lolez with Olive Oil, clean and rinse the greens well, then cook them gently with olive oil until tender. Some home recipes add onion and a little water; cooking time depends on the greens used.
Lolez with Olive Oil is made with greens known locally as lolez, but the name may refer to different plants in different places. Only use greens that have been positively identified as edible.
Lolez with Olive Oil is usually served cool or at room temperature, like many olive-oil vegetable dishes. Letting it rest after cooking allows the greens to take on the olive-oil flavor; it can also be eaten warm.
Lolez with Olive Oil tastes like cooked greens with a rounded olive-oil flavor; some versions may be slightly bitter or earthy. The exact taste depends on the wild greens and how mature they are.
Serve Lolez with Olive Oil with bread, rice, or bulgur for a more filling meal. A fresh salad with lemon also pairs well, especially if you are serving the greens cool.
Lolez with Olive Oil is a cooked dish, and its wild greens are best prepared rather than eaten raw. Never eat wild plants unless you can identify the species confidently; some edible greens are tough or unpleasant uncooked.
Pick through the greens for damaged leaves and grit, then rinse them thoroughly in several changes of water. Wild greens can hold soil between their leaves, so check that the final rinse is clear.
Lolez with Olive Oil keeps for about three days in a sealed container in the refrigerator once cooled. Take out only the portion you plan to serve, and do not leave the rest at room temperature for long.
Yes, you can freeze Lolez with Olive Oil, but the greens may turn softer and release water after thawing. Freeze cooled portions in airtight containers and reheat them thoroughly after defrosting.
