Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 onion, diced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by finely dicing the onion and measuring out spices.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add ground lamb without any oil.
- Cook lamb, breaking it into small crumbles, until it starts to brown and release its natural fat, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add diced onions to the lamb and continue cooking, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Sprinkle turmeric, salt, and pepper over the lamb and onion mixture, stirring to distribute spices evenly.
- Continue cooking until lamb is fully browned and onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Create small wells in the lamb mixture and crack eggs directly into these spaces.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the skillet, allowing eggs to cook until whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let rest for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve hot directly from the skillet, ensuring each serving gets an egg and an equal portion of spiced lamb.
Tips
- Choose Quality Lamb: Opt for fresh, high-quality ground lamb for the best flavor. If you can, ask your butcher for a leaner cut to reduce excess fat.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to adjust the amount of turmeric and seasonings to suit your taste. Adding a pinch of cayenne pepper can give it a delightful kick!
- Cooking Eggs: For perfectly runny yolks, keep an eye on the eggs as they cook. You can also cover the skillet with a lid to help the eggs cook evenly.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve this dish with warm pita bread or a side of fresh salad to balance the richness of the lamb and eggs.
- Leftovers: If you have leftovers, store the lamb mixture and eggs separately to maintain the best texture. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
