Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Saute the onion until translucent.
- Add in the garlic and spinach. You might need to add the spinach in two batches. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the excess liquid is evaporated. Add the turmeric, salt and pepper.
- Using a spoon, make wells in the pan and crack the eggs in the wells.
- Cover with a lid and cook for 3 to 8 minutes, until the eggs are done to your liking.
- Serve warm.
Notes
- You can use frozen spinach for this recipe, thaw in the fridge and squeeze to get rid of the liquid. Then add it to the sauteed onion.
- It's possible to use canned spinach as well. Discard the excess liquid before adding it to the onion.
- Serve spinach and eggs with lavash, pita, barbari or pide bread.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pan over medium low heat.
