today i want to cook you
something you've been asking for is
turkish eggs it's actually called
Çılbır, it's poached eggs with a bit of
yogurt and
some bread and some hot peppers on top
and it's
very simple and the combination is
actually sounds a bit weird
but the end result is amazing
[Music]
i'm going to do if you look at any
Çılbır recipe
Turkish poached egg recipe you start
with classical poached eggs
which is you put a big bowl of water and
you put a bit of vinegar in it
and then you swirl it break the egg in
the middle of it
and then pray that it won't like go
around you poach it
one by one usually to make the balance
but
to tell you the truth even for me this
puts me off
because it's a bit of hustle i have a
recipe
from my "dayı"" which is uncle
uncle from mother's side in Turkey
relationships are very important so
we don't have just aunts and uncles we
have dayı for women's side
amca for the men's side et cetera
coming back to the eggs instead of
putting the water into a deep
dish what i'm going to do i'm going to
put it into a pan
i put a bit of salt in it
i'm going to let it boil for a while
for the bread i'm going to use "açma"
açma is kind of like brioche
you can use any oily bread even
croissant
croissant it would be a bit heavy but
good
you can use pita you can use pita you
can use bagels bagels would be great
i'm going to put this on another pan and
make it even crunchier
surface area in these breads are very
important if you have a high surface
area the taste is better so these are
going to be crunchy
outside and soft inside which will be
great i'm going to put a bit of vinegar
this is not a necessity if you don't
like vinegar
it will still work but what vinegar does
actually is
holds up the eggs i'm going to turn the
heat a bit
off now it's boiling i put the
level to the nose and i like just break
the egg
as you can see it distributes a bit but
not so much
i'm going to let it sit for a while
instead of swirling i did this
and i'm going to break the second one on
the other side
like that turn the heat a bit more now
that's it i have a whole garlic and i
put this garlic like
just crush it a bit like this and put it
in the water
this will increase the taste of the
water and it will also soften the
garlic so the egg is going to cook for
about two minutes
and you can collect the egg
like this
[Music]
as it is cooking i take out the garlic
and here i have two tablespoons of
yogurt and i'm
crushing the garlic so it becomes very
simple now
because it spoils this decreases the
edgy taste of the garlic a bit so
you will still have the taste of the
garlic
but the intensity will be lower because
this is like a morning dish
you won't be smelling garlic all day and
i put a bit of salt
to the yogurt
ideally the yogurt should be in room
temperature
before you take anything out to make the
Çılbır first take the
yogurt and the eggs two minutes all done
but i can see
it's still very yellow i want it to be a
little paler so i'm going to
have like 20 more seconds first we put
the bread
oh then i put a bit of yogurt
not so much like this it's even
better in taste i take the extra water
out
and just flip it if you're afraid to
flip it
here it comes guys these are the two
eggs
and on top of it
on top of it some other things are gonna
come i'm gonna put some butter
as it melts i'm gonna put some red
peppers now
around these eggs i put some more yogurt
the garlic makes a lot of difference
now here is the butter melts i put some
red pepper with a spoon help the butter
bubble
and it becomes this lovely red color
the butter has in itself some milk
products and
i want to burn them a bit so that it has
this nutty flavor
and that's when we call this burnt oil
works
[Music]
here we go
and a bit of parsley and it's all done
very simple at the first glance what
yogurt with eggs why
you might i ask but it be it acts like a
sour cream
it is another miracle etc etc should we
eat can i eat
of course you can now i'm gonna pop
in each spoon we need to have from this
butter yogurt and eggs and a bit of
parsley
i think you can make one for each of us
i will who's the first one
