Equipment

  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 small bowl
  • 1 frying pan
Servings 2 people

Ingredients

  • 175 grams kavurma (or leftover roast beef or lamb)
  • 4 large eggs (free range)
  • 1 teaspoon hot chilli flakes
  • salt & pepper (to season)

Instructions

  • First of all, cut your kavurma into small bite-sized chunks. Don't worry about any bits that crumble. they can go into the pan as well.
  • Place your frying pan over a medium heat on the hob and add your kavurma to the pan.
  • Wait a few seconds until the juices start to release and spread the meat evenly over the pan.
  • Now crack your eggs into the pan and cook them sunny side up, teasing the loose whites over the surface of the pan so that they cook quickly and the yolk remains runny.
  • Once the egg whites are cooked, remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle your kavurma and eggs with salt, freshly ground black pepper and chilli flakes (hot red pepper flakes).
  • Take the pan to your table and either enjoy your kavurma and eggs straight from the pan or portion it out onto plates. Eat with crusty bread to dip into your yolks.

Notes

  • As with all of our recipes, our kavurmalı yumurta - kavurma and eggs - recipe nutrition information is meant as a rough guide only. Calculations are done by a third party API.
  • For the kavurma, we have used the values from a pre-packed branded Turkish kavurma. Your values will differ depending on your choice of meat.
  • If you can't get kavurma, British corned beef is quite similar or you can add your own bits of leftover lamb or beef from a roast. You will need to add some butter or oil to the pan if you use leftovers.
