Dukkah, either made at home or store bought, adds a wonderful new flavour to fried eggs. Served here with wilted spinach for a delicious and healthy start to the day. For a little extra spiciness add a pinch of chilli flakes.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
3 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped unsalted pistachios
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 eggs
10g butter
1 small clove garlic, crushed
100g baby spinach leaves
4 slices toasted Turkish bread
Method
In a small dry pan toast the sesame seeds, cumin and coriander seeds until aromatic. Remove from the heat and place in a bowl
Place the pistachios in the bowl of a small food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Combine with the spices and salt. Set aside
Heat a large non stick frying pan over medium high and add a little olive oil. Crack two eggs into the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your liking, turning over if desired and cooking for another minute. Repeat with remaining eggs
Meanwhile in another pan melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook for a minute then add the spinach. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Season with salt and cracked black pepper
To serve, place the warm Turkish bread on serving plates and spoon over wilted spinach. Top with fried eggs and sprinkle liberally with dukkah
