Frequently Asked Questions About Sakarca fritters
What are Sakarca fritters?
Sakarca fritters are a savory Turkish dish made with sakarca, a wild green, mixed with egg and flour and then cooked. They are associated especially with regional Black Sea cooking and are usually served warm as a snack or side dish.
How do you make Sakarca fritters?
Sakarca fritters are made by mixing cooked, chopped sakarca with egg and flour, then frying spoonfuls of the mixture. Drain the greens well before mixing; excess water can make the batter loose and the fritters difficult to turn.
Does sakarca need to be boiled for Sakarca fritters?
Yes, sakarca is commonly boiled before it goes into Sakarca fritters. Boiling softens the wild greens, and squeezing out the water afterward keeps the batter from becoming soggy. Chop the drained greens before mixing them with the egg and flour.
How should you clean sakarca for Sakarca fritters?
Rinse sakarca thoroughly and remove any soil or damaged pieces before making Sakarca fritters. Wild plants can resemble one another, so use sakarca only when it has been correctly identified or obtained from a reliable source.
What does sakarca taste like in Sakarca fritters?
Sakarca gives Sakarca fritters a green, savory flavor, though its strength can vary with the plant and preparation. Boiling and draining the greens can soften a sharper taste; a little salt and herbs help bring out their flavor.
What do you serve with Sakarca fritters?
Sakarca fritters go well with plain or garlic yogurt and a fresh salad. They can be served warm as a side dish or snack, or included in a larger Turkish meal with other vegetable dishes.
Can you bake Sakarca fritters instead of frying them?
Yes, you can bake Sakarca fritters by spreading the mixture in a lightly oiled baking dish and cooking it until set and browned. They will be less crisp than pan-fried fritters, so keep the layer fairly thin for more even cooking.
Can you make Sakarca fritters with frozen sakarca?
Yes, thawed sakarca can be used for Sakarca fritters. Drain and squeeze it thoroughly after thawing, since frozen greens release water; then chop and mix it with the egg and flour as you would fresh, cooked sakarca.
How do you store leftover Sakarca fritters?
Store leftover Sakarca fritters in a covered container in the refrigerator once they have cooled. Reheat them in a pan or oven to restore some crispness, and avoid leaving cooked fritters at room temperature for an extended time.
Can you freeze Sakarca fritters?
Yes, cooked Sakarca fritters can be frozen, although they may lose some crispness after thawing. Cool them first, freeze them in a single layer, then transfer them to a sealed container; reheat in the oven for a firmer texture.

What is Sakarca fritters?
Sakarca fritters are a home-style dish associated with Turkey’s Black Sea region, where sakarca—a wild spring green—is gathered and cooked. The greens are commonly boiled, chopped and mixed with egg, flour and herbs, then spooned into a pan and fried; family recipes vary.
They are crisp at the edges and tender inside, and are served warm or at room temperature. In Turkey they may appear at breakfast, alongside tea, or as part of a meal; elsewhere, they work well as a savoury snack or side. The greens contribute some fibre, while egg and frying make the fritters more substantial. For a lighter version, use less oil and serve them with plain yoghurt or a fresh salad.
