Ingredients
Scale
- 3 heaped tbsp greek yoghurt
- 1 tbsp chopped dill
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander
- 1 tbsp chopped mint
- 3/4 tsp finely chopped preserved lemon
- 1 tsp preserved lemon liquid from the jar
- Pinch of sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper
- 1 egg
Smoky Harissa Chilli Oil
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp harissa powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pinch sea salt flakes
Garnish:
- 1 tbsp toasted pine nuts
- Dill fonds
Instructions
- Combine herbs, preserved lemon and its juice, salt, pepper, and yoghurt.
- Heat a small frying pan and add olive oil, harissa, smoked paprika and salt. Stir around the pan until it just starts to bubble then add garlic powder and combine well. Remove from heat. Be careful not to keep on the heat too long or the oil and spices will burn.
- Transfer harissa oil to a small bowl and return the pan to the stove. There should be enough leftover oil to fry the egg but if not add another splash. Once hot crack in the egg and fry until crispy. Season with salt or Smoke Salt.
- To finish: Spread lemon herb yoghurt evenly along the base of a shallow bowl. Top with fried egg. Drizzle with harissa oil and garnish with toasted pine nuts and dill fonds. Serve with crusty bread, tortillas or nachos chips.
