  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 2 tsp Turkish pul biber chilli flakes

  • 30 ml olive oil
  • ⅛ tsp ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 30 ml white wine vinegar

Preparation

  1. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Mix it into the yoghurt with the salt and pepper. Divide between shallow plates and let the yoghurt lose its chill for about 30 minutes before poaching the eggs.
