Persian broad beans with dill and eggs (Baghali Ghatogh)
Ingredients
- 250 g broad beans peeled
- 3 eggs
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 170 ml warm water
- 2 tbsp fresh or dried dill you can add more
- ½ tsp turmeric
- salt
- pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Start by peeling the beans, this step is a bit time consuming, so get some extra hands if possible! You can also use frozen beans already prepared.
- Chop the garlic finely.
- Heat a pan. Drizzle with olive oil and fry the garlic for 2 minutes.
- Then add the beans and spices while stirring. Fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the water and continue cooking with a lid on.
- Remove the lid after 5 minutes and cook for another 10 minutes.
- Finally, make 3 holes in the pan, dividing the beans on either side, and pour in the eggs to cook them in the pan. The eggs should take about 7 minutes to cook.
- Serve hot!
