Yumurtalı çiriş kavurması is a Turkish spring-green dish cooked with egg. The English file name, “Sautéed salsify with egg,” is misleading: çiriş is a wild Turkish green, not true salsify. Recipes often add onion, though the exact seasoning varies by household.
To make yumurtalı çiriş kavurması, wash and chop the çiriş greens, then sauté them until tender and their released liquid has mostly evaporated. Add beaten or whole eggs and cook until set. Onion and pepper are common additions, but neither is essential.
Fresh çiriş for yumurtalı çiriş kavurması is mainly available in spring, particularly in eastern and southeastern Turkey. It is a short-season wild green, so look for fresh bunches at Turkish or regional markets during spring rather than expecting it year-round.
For yumurtalı çiriş kavurması, trim off the roots and any tough or yellowing parts, then rinse the leaves several times to remove grit. Drain them thoroughly before chopping; wet greens release extra water in the pan and can make the dish soggy.
Yumurtalı çiriş kavurması has a mild, savory, distinctly green flavor, with egg softening the taste of the wild herb. Tender, freshly picked çiriş is usually less tough and sharp-tasting than older leaves, so remove coarse stems before cooking.
To keep yumurtalı çiriş kavurması from turning watery, drain the washed greens well and cook them uncovered over medium-high heat. Let their liquid evaporate before adding the eggs; covering the pan traps steam and can leave the greens limp.
Yes, onion is a common addition to yumurtalı çiriş kavurması. Soften finely chopped onion in the pan before adding the greens for a sweeter, fuller flavor, or leave it out if you want the distinctive taste of çiriş to stand out.
Yumurtalı çiriş kavurması is often served hot with bread and can be accompanied by plain yogurt or cacık. It works for breakfast or as a light main dish; serve it soon after cooking so the egg stays tender.
Freezing fully cooked yumurtalı çiriş kavurması is not ideal because the egg and greens may become watery and soft after thawing. For a better texture, freeze cooked çiriş without egg, then thaw, reheat, and add freshly cooked egg when serving.
Refrigerate leftover yumurtalı çiriş kavurması in a covered container once it has cooled, and eat it within a few days. Reheat it thoroughly in a pan, and avoid repeatedly cooling and reheating the egg dish.

Yumurtalı çiriş kavurması is a Turkish pan-cooked dish of çiriş, a seasonal wild green gathered in parts of eastern and southeastern Anatolia, finished with eggs. Recipes often include onion, too. The greens cook down to a tender, savory dish with a fresh, gently grassy flavor.
It is usually served hot, with bread as a simple meal or alongside other dishes; in Turkey, it can also appear at breakfast. For English-speaking readers, think of it as a regional Turkish greens-and-eggs skillet rather than a salsify dish. It provides both protein and fibre, with 6.4 g of protein per 100 g. Use a light hand with the oil, and serve it with plain yoghurt or a crisp salad.
