Turkish Eggs with Cauliflower, Sumac and Lemon Yoghurt Recipe

I love this recipe as it combines the most delicious flavours! It’s also wonderfully sustaining and full of protein, healthy fats and fibre. The cauliflower is a beautiful part of the meal flavour and texture wise, but if you have leftover vegies that need a home, you could certainly sub them in.

Ingredients

  • 3–4 spring onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp ghee, butter or oil
  • ½ small cauliflower, sliced into 1cm slices
  • ½ tsp sweet paprika
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tsp sumac
  • 400g tin tomatoes or passata

  • Olive oil

Method


  • Sauté spring onion in ghee/oil for 1 min then remove and set aside on plate.
  • Over medium heat, add cauliflower slices to pan (it doesn’t matter if they are not perfect or break up a little). Cook for a few mins on each side, until some are golden in colour.
  • Add paprika, cayenne and sumac to pan and cook for 1 min, until fragrant.
  • Add tomato and sea salt and cook for another 5 mins.
  • Make a couple of little gaps and crack an egg into each, cooking until eggs are to your liking.
  • To make yoghurt, combine all ingredients, taste and add a little sea salt if needed.
  • To serve, divide between two plates, topping with yoghurt, pomegranate, cucumber and spring onion, finishing with drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of sumac.
