  5. Immediately add your çiriş otu and 2-3 cups of hot water.
  6. Give it all a stir around, bring to the boil and then place a lid on your pan and reduce the heat.

Notes

  • Obviously, not everyone can get access to çiriş otu. If you would still like to make this dish, you can substitute these edible wild plants for the leafy bit of leeks or the green shoots of spring onions.
  • Bulgurlu çiriş otu yemeği is very tasty with some natural yoghurt drizzled over the top.
  • Calories per serving are approximate.
