Finishing off Simit from the freezer with olives, çoban salata, shepherd’s salad with Çılbır, Turkish style poached eggs with garlicky yoghurt. Çılbır dates back to the Ottoman period, where it is enjoyed as meze, though it is more of a popular breakfast / brunch nowadays. Combination of garlicky yoghurt, poached eggs and pul biber oil is quite a taste sensation, for me it can easily be a light supper too. Here is how I make Çılbır, if you like to make it for a weekend treat - Afiyet Olsun x 1 garlic clove chopped finely 300g strained yoghurt 2 large free range eggs 2tbsp olive oil 2tbsp white wine vinegar 1tsp pul biber Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Sprigs of dill to serve -optional Prepare the garlic yoghurt first, about 20 minutes before poaching the eggs and bring to the room temperature. In a small bowl, beat the yoghurt with garlic and seasoning. Spoon this into two serving plates, creating a round thick layer to provide a nest for the poached eggs. Fill a small pan with hot water, add the vinegar (this will help sealing the egg whites) and bring to a boil. Stir the water to create a whirlpool and crack in the first egg. As the egg spins and the white sets around the yolk, stir the water ready for the next one. Poach each egg for 2-3 minutes so that the yolk remains soft. While the eggs are poaching, quickly pour in the olive oil in a small pan and stir in pul biber over medium heat. Stir and let pul biber infuse to olive oil for 30-40 seconds, turn the heat off. Lift the eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and place them over a couple of sturdy paper towels, to drain the excess moisture. Then gently place them over to the garlic yoghurt spread. Drizzle pul biber oil over the poached eggs. Serve immediately with sprigs of dill over. #eggs #çılbır #turkisheggs #brunch #simit #seasonalproduce #alldaybreakfast #poachedegg #ozlemsturkishtable #turkishbreakfast #kahvaltı #glutenfree #glutenfreefood #yoghurt #gutfriendly #feedfeedglutenfree #weekendbrunch
