POACHED EGGS WITH MINT AND YOGURT
Fresh eggs, whether purchased at the farmers' market or taken from your own home coop, are a great start to any recipe that calls for eggs. This one is adapted from "The Fresh Egg Cookbook" by Jennifer Trainer Thompson and gives the eggs the unlikely partners of plain Greek yogurt and fresh mint. It's served with pita or flatbread. A strange combination? You won't think so once you've started to eat.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir the yogurt and garlic together. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- When ready to cook, use a large spoon to divide the yogurt on four serving plates, making large dollops. Use the back of a spoon to spread each dollop into a large oval, big enough to hold two eggs.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams. Add mint, paprika and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant. Turn off the heat and keep warm.
- In a large, deep skillet, combine two inches of water and the vinegar. Bring to a simmer. Crack the eggs gently into the water. Simmer until softly cooked, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out one at a time, holding a paper towel under the spoon to avoid dripping water onto the yogurt. Place two eggs on each plateful of yogurt. Remove mint leaves from the warm spiced butter, then use a spoon to drizzle butter over the eggs. Grind black pepper onto each egg, and serve immediately with hot toasted pita bread.

Let the water return to a simmer and repeat with the remaining 4 eggs; add to the plates. Season the eggs with a pinch each of salt and red pepper flakes.
- Toast the walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in a pinch of red pepper flakes, then stir in the butter until melted. Spoon over the eggs.

Steps:
- Cook the spinach in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat for a few minutes until wilted. Transfer to a food processor, then return the pan to the heat and melt the butter. Cool the butter for a minute, then pour into the food processor with the spinach. Crack in one egg and blitz until the spinach is finely chopped (a few green flecks are fine).
- Mix the flour, nutmeg and baking powder together, then add to the food processor and blitz to combine. Pour in 250ml milk and blitz for another 1-2 mins until a batter forms. If you prefer thinner pancakes, add another 50ml milk. Pour the batter into a jug or bowl.
- Mix the yogurt with the harissa in a small bowl to taste. Set aside. Return the pan to a medium-low heat. When the residual butter in the pan is sizzling, pour in a ladleful of batter and cook for 2 mins until the top of the pancake is nearly set. Flip and cook for another 1 min until cooked and lightly golden. Transfer to a baking tray inside a low oven to keep warm. Repeat with the rest of the batter, making four to six pancakes.
- Crack the remaining eggs into ramekins. Bring a pan of water to a simmer, add a drop of vinegar and stir to create a gentle whirlpool. Tip in one egg and cook for 3-4 mins until the white is set. Lift onto kitchen paper to drain using a slotted spoon. Repeat with the remaining egg. Top the pancakes with the harissa yogurt, poached eggs and a sprinkling of nigella seeds, if you like.
TURKISH EGGS (CILBIR)
At my age I feel like I've seen and done it all, so you can only imagine my shock at finding a new way to do eggs. I would never have thought to pair yogurt with poached eggs and a spicy red pepper butter, but it might be my new favorite breakfast now. Fried eggs also work in this, any way you like 'em. Serve with toasted crusty bread for dipping.

Steps:
- Spoon yogurt into a medium bowl. Grate in garlic and mix to combine. Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add dill and mix thoroughly. Set aside at room temperature.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; heat until bubbles begin to burst. Add cumin, paprika, and chili flakes. Stir until color is uniform, then turn off heat and let spices infuse.
- Grind parsley and jalapeno together in a mortar. Season with salt, drizzle in olive oil, and stir to combine.
- Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl then gently slip egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of water. Repeat with the remaining eggs. Cook eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, and place onto a warm plate.
- Dollop yogurt mixture onto serving plates. Use the back of a spoon to spread yogurt out into a bed for the eggs, carving ridges into the top to catch the oil. Drizzle on some jalapeno oil. Top with eggs and a spoonful or two of the Aleppo butter. Sprinkle sea salt on top.

Tips:
- Always use the freshest eggs possible for poaching. Older eggs are more likely to break apart when poached.
- Make sure the water is simmering, not boiling, before adding the eggs. Boiling water will cause the eggs to overcook and become tough.
- Gently slide the eggs into the simmering water using a spoon or slotted spatula. Do not drop them in, as this can cause them to break apart.
- Cook the eggs for 3-4 minutes for a soft-boiled egg, 4-5 minutes for a medium-boiled egg, or 6-7 minutes for a hard-boiled egg.
- Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help the eggs to retain their shape and prevent them from overcooking.
- Serve the poached eggs immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
Poached eggs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a good source of protein, vitamins, and minerals. With a few simple tips, you can easily poach eggs at home and enjoy them in a variety of ways.
