Trim the tough ends of the ciris greens, wash the leaves in plenty of water, and chop them coarsely.
Wilt the ciris in boiling water for 4 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water; this balances the sharpness of the greens.
Chop the onion small and saute it in butter and olive oil for 6 minutes, until lightly pink.
Add the drained ciris greens to the pan and turn with salt and black pepper for 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs in a bowl, pour over the ciris, and cook for 3 minutes, keeping them soft.
Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, rest the saute for 2 minutes, and serve warm.
💡 Tip: Ciris is available only briefly at markets; if you trim the thick stems and use just the tender parts, the egg mixture will not turn fibrous.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve it warm like a Van breakfast herb plate, with lavash and strained yogurt if desired.
