Instructions
- 1
Wash the ciris greens in plenty of water, trim yellowed tips, and cut into 4 cm pieces.
- 2
Dice the onion and saute in olive oil for 6 minutes, until translucent.
6 min06:00 - 3
Add the tomato paste to the onion and stir for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
2 min02:00 - 4
Add the ciris greens, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to the pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until the volume halves.
5 min05:00 - 5
Add the coarse bulgur and hot water, cover, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes.
15 min15:00 - 6
When the bulgur softens, remove the pot from the heat and rest the dish for 5 minutes.
5 min05:00 - 7
Drizzle lemon juice at serving time so the acidity makes the greens taste brighter.
💡 Tip: Use ciris greens the same day you buy them; the tips toughen as they sit, and trimming the firm parts improves the texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the ciris greens warm with garlicky yogurt and cornbread if desired for a spring meal.
