Pick over the sakarca herbs and wash them in plenty of water.
Boil the herbs in salted water for 6 minutes, until softened.
Drain the sakarca, squeeze out the excess water, and chop coarsely.
Whisk the eggs, corn flour, salt, and black pepper.
Add the sakarca, scallions, and parsley to the mixture.
Heat the oil in a skillet and spread the mixture in a thin layer.
Fry each side for 4 minutes and serve hot with lemon.
💡 Tip: Squeezing the sakarca well keeps the mixture from falling apart in the pan and gives the edges clearer crispness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the hot slices like a shared appetizer with lemon, yogurt dip, and cornbread.
