TURMERIC FRIED EGGS WITH TAMARIND AND PICKLED SHALLOTS



Turmeric Fried Eggs With Tamarind and Pickled Shallots image

These fried eggs, as good enough to eat as they are to admire, get their wonderfully eccentric appearance from turmeric and chile. You can serve this easy, punchy breakfast as is, or with some hash browns if you're having them for brunch. Feel free to make this dish your own by swapping out the spinach for another leafy green, using red onion in place of the shallot, or by leaving out the chile for a milder, more kid-friendly version.

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 shallot, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
Kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons/30 grams tamarind concentrate
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro (coriander)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
6 packed cups/200 grams baby spinach
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
4 large eggs
1 fresh green chile (such as a serrano or small jalapeño), thinly sliced into rounds, seeds and all

Steps:

  • Prepare the pickled shallots: Add the shallot, lime juice and a pinch of salt to a small bowl; use your fingers to gently massage everything together. Set aside to pickle lightly.
  • Make the tamarind dressing: Add all the ingredients to a bowl, along with 1 1/2 tablespoons water. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
  • Prepare the spinach: Add 1 tablespoon oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add the garlic and cook for 90 seconds, stirring, until fragrant and lightly golden, then stir in the spinach (in batches, by the handful) and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and wipe out the pan.
  • Prepare the eggs: Add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil and the turmeric to the same pan; stir to combine and heat over medium-high. Once hot but not smoking, crack in the eggs and quickly sprinkle the whites with the sliced chile.
  • Season the eggs all over with a good pinch of salt and use spatula to separate the whites so that the eggs are not joined together. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, spooning some of the oil over the whites. You want the whites to be crispy at the edges and the yolk to be runny. (You can cook it for longer, if you like your eggs more cooked.)
  • When eggs are cooked to taste, use a spatula to transfer them to the plate with the spinach, drizzling with any extra turmeric oil left in the pan. Top with the pickled shallots and a spoonful of the tamarind dressing, serving any remaining alongside.

INDIAN-SPICED EGGS WITH SPINACH AND TURMERIC YOGURT



Indian-Spiced Eggs With Spinach and Turmeric Yogurt image

In this quick meal, sautéed spinach flecked with ginger, chile and garam masala are paired with eggs and used to top toasted pitas spread with turmeric yogurt. The pitas were chosen for their uniform size, but naan or flatbread would work equally well; you want something sturdy to stand up to the moisture of the yogurt and spinach. An olive oil-fried egg tops this dish, but if you prefer poached have at it - that runny yolk is a key element.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Kosher salt
4 (6- to 8-inch) round pitas
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped ginger
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 medium fresh chile, such as cayenne or Serrano, thinly sliced (or 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes)
1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
1 pound baby spinach
4 large eggs
Black pepper
1 tablespoon roughly chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the yogurt and turmeric in a small bowl, season with salt and set aside. Toast the pitas on a sheet pan in the oven until they're warmed through and beginning to crisp, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic and chile and cook until softened, about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the garam masala and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more. Begin adding in the spinach by the handful, tossing it frequently to encourage wilting. Gradually add more as it cooks down, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Season with salt.
  • While the spinach cooks, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the undersides are crispy and the yolk is still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread the turmeric yogurt on the toasted pitas and top each with spinach and then a fried egg. Scatter cilantro over the top, if using, and serve.
