Kaldirik is a grass that comes down to the stalls with the arrival of spring, but is unknown to many. It is also known as borage and sage and usually grows in March.
Found naturally occurring in southern Europe and western Eurasia where it has long been eaten as a spring vegetable, this member of the Borage Family (Boraginaceae) is known colloquially as Abraham-Isaac-Jacob. Over the centuries, the same name has been applied to both Pulmonaria as well as Symphytum (both relatives of Trachystemon), probably due to the fact that their flowers change color as they fade.
ROASTED HODAN RECIPE: It is a useful plant for throat, stomach, intestine, bladder and skin diseases. Stem, leaves, purplish pinkish flowers are eaten.
The root part is cleaned and the stems, leaves, flowers are separated separately. Do it with gloves so your hands don't get painted. Wash the borage that you have extracted separately, again separately. Boil the stems in boiling water until soft and put them in a strainer. Keep flowers and leaves less, it gets scalded very quickly. If you don't boil the flowers and leaves, it can also be made in salads. After boiling, squeeze the juice in the palm of your hand and chop it briefly. Increase the onion according to the amount. Add the onions, then the boiled stems, then the boiled leaves and flowers and fry, stirring occasionally, until there is no water left. Add salt pepper. You can also break eggs at this stage. Or you can pour garlic yogurt.
[1] Trachystemon orientalis, commonly known as early-flowering borage, is a tough, rhizomatous, shade-loving, weed-smothering, perennial ground cover that is native from Bulgaria to the Caucasus and Turkey. Pendant, borage-like, white-throated, bluish-purple flowers (each to 1/2” wide) bloom in early spring (March-April) in loose-branched panicles (scorpioid cymes) located atop branched, hairy, pink-tinted flowering stems rising to 18” tall. Flowers bloom at a time when the foliage is just beginning to develop. Flowers have tubular corollas with five spreading to slightly reflexed petals. Large, coarsely-textured, long-petioled, heart-shaped, bristly-hairy, overlapping, medium to dark green basal leaves (each to 12” long) typically mature to full size after flowering has finished to form a dense but attractive foliage mat rising to 18” tall but spreading over time to 24” wide or more.
Genus name comes from the Greek words trachys meaning rough and stemon meaning stamen in reference to the hairy filaments found on species flowers.Specific epithet is in reference to the Orient in reference to the distribution of this species.
