Sac böreği with çiriş is a Turkish griddle-cooked börek made by folding thin yufka around a filling of çiriş, a spring herb. The folded pastry cooks on both sides on a hot sac, giving it a lightly crisp surface and a soft filling.
Çiriş has a mild, onion-like flavor, which is why it works well in sac böreği with çiriş. It is also called Turkish wild leek or çiriş herb, though its exact English name is not widely standardized; fresh leaves should be thoroughly washed before use.

In eastern Turkey, sac böreği with çiriş is made by folding çiriş— a tender spring wild herb with a mild, onion-like flavour—into thin yufka dough and cooking it on a hot griddle. It is a home-style börek rather than a filled pastry baked in a pan, and the herb is commonly gathered or sold fresh in season.
The griddle gives the yufka browned, lightly crisp patches while the filling stays soft and savoury. It can be served warm for breakfast or as a simple lunch, often with yoghurt or a fresh salad; abroad, it also makes an easy hand-held snack. The dough supplies most of its carbohydrates, while the greens add some fibre. Pair a piece with salad for a lighter meal.
