Author Notes
It is spring and the farmers' markets are abundant with herbs like wild chicory, wild asparagus, common mallow, rumex, curly dock, foxtail lily, golden thistle and many many more.. Usually these herbs are blanched or sauteed and served with garlic and olive oil or yoghurt is added on top. Herb fritters , herb böreks are made from these beautiful wild herbs or simply they are added to egss to make herb omlets. I especially like meadow parsley(corky-fruited water- dropwort) which we call goose feet in Turkish. The sweetness of kohlrabi goes well with the bitter onion-parsley like flavour of the meadow parsley. —Gamze Mutfakta (Piper Nigrum)

Control the heat often and check the doneness. Turn when golden. If they are browning too fast turn your heat down.
