This is our take on Turkish eggs (Cilbir), something that might not sound so appealing if you haven’t had it before – poached eggs with yoghurt - but the reality is delicate, luxurious and utterly delicious. We love this brunch dish, it feels spoiling and indulgent but like music to our ears it’s a healthy dish, as long as you don’t add too much butter (although its far better with lots of the spicy butter). Cilbir has dense garlicky yoghurt swirled into spicy butter with the rich yolk from the poached eggs running through just to be mopped up with crusty bread. It is known as a Turkish comfit food, originating from the Ottoman Empire and for good reason has it stuck around for so long! Just the kind of comfort food we want in January. We are finishing the dish with a Turkish spice mix – a mixture of Turkish pul bibers: Aleppo pul biber for hot-fruity notes, Urfa pul biber to bring a smokiness to the party, and then cured sumac for a tangy, lemony finish. It’s a Holy Trinity which tastes incredible on avocado toast or Turkish eggs. Try stirring through grains, sprinkling over feta or halloumi and using it to finish roasted meat and vegetables.  As well as tasting great, this blend is a healthy way of introducing a whack of flavour through spices, instead of turning straight to salt. We were introduced to this mix by our friends at Rooted Spice – Two girls changing the way you look at spices, you will never buy supermarket spice again after trying their high quality spices (so much so we are only using their spices in our restaurant and deli!). It’s astounding the difference when you compare and when you wonder why a dish you have made at home doesn’t taste nearly the same of that on your travels it will largely be down to the quality of the ingredients. On one hand we are lucky enough to be able to use many exotic ingredients that have only recently become available, but sadly often the quality is lacking. You can buy the spice mix online, in our deli – or substitute for sumac.
