Clean the melocan greens, boil them for 5 minutes, and squeeze out the excess water.
Saute the onion in olive oil for 4 minutes, then add the melocan to the pan.
Add the cornmeal and salt, saute for 5 minutes more, and serve.
Melocanı tavaya ekleyip 5 dakika kavurun.
Mısır unu ve tuzu katıp 5 dakika daha kavurun, un çiğ kalmasın.
💡 Tip: Draining the melocan greens well after boiling keeps them from turning watery in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with cornbread on the side.
