What is Wild herb dish?
This wild herb dish is made with kedirgen, the tender shoots of wild asparagus gathered in parts of Turkey, particularly in spring. The shoots are trimmed and commonly sautéed with onion and olive oil; some home-style versions include egg, while others keep the dish plant-based.
Kedirgen has a gently grassy, slightly bitter taste and becomes tender while retaining a little bite. In Turkey it may be served warm as a vegetable side or meze, or with eggs for breakfast. With 3.6 g of fibre per 100 g, it offers a fibre-containing, relatively light addition to a meal. Use a modest amount of oil and pair it with yoghurt or bread for a more filling plate.
