The delicious taste the basturma adds to the eggs is hard to resist or forget. This air-dried cured beef is a part of Egyptian cuisines for centuries. This dish is great for a brunch or a light lunch/supper with flatbread aside. A freshly cut cucumber and tomatoes go really well with this dish.
Ingredients
3free range eggs
6 -8stripes of thinly cut basturma, roughly cut
3-4tbspghee
½tspground black pepper
Instructions
Heat the ghee in a medium, heavy pan and stir in the basturma and cook for half a minute. Don't let it crust.
On low heat, crack the eggs on the basturma. Add the black pepper.
Stir the eggs after one minute or when it firms a bit around the edges.
With a spatula, stir the eggs with the basturma until it combines. Don't stir too much. Bear in mind we want a similar version to a fluffy scrambled egg.
Serve hot with flatbread aside.
Notes
You can get basturma from Turkish and Middle Eastern markets, and online stores.It also called basterma, this one more close to how we pronounce it.
