This simple and delicious traditional Kurdish bread is usually made during spring when there are plenty of wild, aromatic chives/pichak-e kuhi, on the foothills of the mountains. I’ve used spring onions here (you can also use garlic chives instead). Traditionally the bread is brushed with sheep-tail fat or sheep’s butter, which I’ve replaced in this recipe with olive oil.
