Wash the zilbit greens in plenty of water, remove tough stems, and chop the leaves and tender stems.
Boil the zilbit for 6 minutes, drain, and rinse with cold water.
Squeeze the cooked zilbit dry; if it stays watery, the eggs will cook loosely in the pan.
Cook the onion in olive oil for 6 minutes until softened.
Add the zilbit, salt, and red pepper flakes, then cook for 5 minutes until the greens open up their aroma.
Crack the eggs into the pan, gently break the yolks, and cook for 3 minutes.
Serve the zilbit kavurmasi with yogurt and sprinkle the red pepper flakes on the plate at the last moment.
💡 Tip: If zilbit is sold as mixed wild greens, smell it first; young, glossy leaves stay softer in an egg scramble.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve zilbit kavurmasi warm with yogurt, red pepper flakes, and optional cornbread near tea time.
