Pickled hodan with olive oil is a Turkish-style preparation of pickled borage, a leafy herb also called kaldırık in Turkey. The drained herb is dressed with olive oil, and some recipes add garlic or lemon.
Pickled hodan with olive oil is made by cleaning and briefly blanching the herb, then preserving it in brine; some versions use a prepared borage pickle. Drain it before serving and toss with olive oil and optional garlic.
Pickled hodan with olive oil is usually served cold or at room temperature as a meze or side dish. Its tangy, salty flavor pairs well with simple mains, and a modest serving works well alongside other dishes.
Yes. In this dish, hodan refers to borage, the leafy herb used in the pickle; it is not the cucumber-based pickle sometimes implied by the English word “pickle.” Regional names and recipes can vary.
No, pickled hodan with olive oil does not usually need rinsing. If it tastes too salty, briefly rinse or soak the drained herb, then dress it again with olive oil; prolonged soaking can dull its flavor.
Keep pickled hodan with olive oil in a covered, clean container in the refrigerator, and use a clean utensil each time. Follow the package date for a commercial product; discard homemade pickle if it develops mold, an unusual smell, or foaming.
Sometimes: pickled hodan with olive oil may be made from borage fermented in brine, but recipes and commercial products differ. Adding olive oil does not make it fermented, and pasteurized versions may not contain live cultures.
Freezing pickled hodan with olive oil is not recommended for the best texture. Thawed borage can become soft and watery, while the oil may separate; refrigerating a small, usable quantity is a better option.
Yes, pickled hodan with olive oil can be served at breakfast as a savory side, including with bread or eggs. Because pickles can be salty, pair it with less salty foods rather than adding more salty sides.
Pickled hodan with olive oil goes well with rice, beans, grilled foods, and other simple mains. Its briny, tangy taste can balance mild dishes; if the meal already includes salty pickles or olives, serve less.

Pickled hodan with olive oil is a Turkish preparation of kaldırık, a regional leafy herb also known as hodan, preserved as a pickle and served with olive oil. The herb is used in local cooking, particularly in the Black Sea region; here, the oil rounds out the pickle’s tangy, green flavour.
Its leaves and stems become tender, with a mildly sharp, herbal taste that works well as a small side or part of a meze-style spread. Olive oil gives it a richer nutritional profile than a plain herb pickle: a 100 g portion has 6.1 g of fat. Serve a modest spoonful alongside beans, grains or bread, or drain off some of the oil for a lighter plate.
