Sort the borage greens, thinly slice the thick stems, and tear the leaves into large pieces.
Boil the stems in salted water for 3 minutes, then add the leaves and soften for 4 more minutes.
Drain the boiled greens, squeeze out excess water by hand, and chop them a few times with a knife.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion for 6 minutes until it starts to turn lightly golden.
Add the greens, salt, and black pepper to the pan and cook for 4 minutes until their moisture evaporates.
Beat the eggs, pour them into the pan, and cook for 3 minutes until soft curds form.
Mix the yogurt with the crushed garlic and serve the ispit kavurmasi with this yogurt.
💡 Tip: If you cannot find ispit, ask for borage at the market; if the stems are thick, blanch them 3 minutes before the leaves.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve ispit kavurmasi with garlic yogurt and optional cornbread for breakfast or as a light dinner plate.
