Chorizo Turkish Eggs

Ingredients

• 1 cup yogurt (Bring to room temperature for 1 hour.)
• 1 lemon (Use juice and zest.)
• dill (A handful; reserve some for sprinkling on top.)
• parsley (A handful; reserve some for sprinkling on top.)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (For the yogurt mixture.)
• 1 tsp salt (The source lists “1 tsp salt / pepper”; amount allocation between salt and pepper is unclear.)
• black pepper (Listed with salt as “1 tsp salt / pepper”; amount is unspecified.)
• 1 garlic (Grated.)
• 0.25 cube chorizo (Blend or chop finely; the size/weight of a cube is not specified.)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (For cooking the chorizo.)
• 1 tbsp butter (For the spiced butter.)
• 1 tsp paprika (The source gives “paprika / cayenne”; whether this means either one or a combination is unclear.)
• cayenne pepper (Listed as an alternative or companion to paprika; amount is unspecified.)
• 3 eggs (For poaching.)
• sourdough bread (The source spells this “Sordough”; amount not stated, served alongside.)
• water (For poaching the eggs; amount not stated.)

Steps

1. 1

   Take the yogurt out of the refrigerator 1 hour before serving so it can come to room temperature.

2. 2

   Blend or finely chop the chorizo.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a pan, add the chorizo, and cook until crisp and its natural oils have rendered. Transfer it to a paper towel to drain.

4. 4

   In a bowl, combine the room-temperature yogurt with the lemon juice and zest, dill, parsley, olive oil, salt, pepper, and grated garlic. Mix until it reaches the consistency you like.

5. 5

   Bring water to a simmer and poach the eggs for 3 minutes.

6. 6

   Let the poached eggs rest for 1–2 minutes.

7. 7

   While the eggs rest, use the same pan that cooked the chorizo to melt the butter with the paprika and/or cayenne. Cook until foaming.

8. 8

   To serve, arrange the yogurt mixture and poached eggs, then top with the crisp chorizo and spiced butter. Serve with sourdough bread and sprinkle the reserved dill and parsley over the top.

Notes

The ingredient list is ambiguous about whether the listed tsp amount applies to both salt and pepper, and whether the butter spice is paprika, cayenne, or both. The description mentions sourdough but does not specify its quantity or how it is prepared. The transcript does not provide additional poaching or serving details.
