Persian Spinach and Fried Eggs (Nargesi)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 7 to 8 minutes until soft and caramelized golden.

  2. 2

    Stir in the minced garlic and ground turmeric. Cook on low heat for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped fresh spinach. Cook on medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted and liquid evaporates.

  4. 4

    Use a spoon to create 4 small well indentations in the spinach mixture. Gently crack 1 egg into each well.

  5. 5

    Cover the skillet with a lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 minutes until the egg whites are firm and yolks remain soft.

  6. 6

    Remove from heat, season with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately with crumbled feta cheese and warm flatbread.
