Recipe Nr 2: Chilbir Sauce

Last night we felt the urge to cook some pasta late in the night. There wasn't much in the fridge - so with the limited ingredients there were, I came up with this quick "chilbir" sauce for the spaghetti. Chilbir actually is a simple dish made of eggs and yoghurt which I modified a bit to turn into a sauce.

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• About a full glass of yoghurt
• 2-3 cloves of garlic
• 4 mid-size peeled tomatoes
• Two pinches of dried mint
• Two pinches of sumac
• Sea salt
• Two pinches of paprika

1. Boil two glasses of water in a pan.
2. Fold the eggs into the boiling water - don't scramble!
3. Let it boil on for about 5 minutes until the color of the yolk changes significantly.
4. By now you should have at most half a glass of water left in the pan - add the yoghurt.
5. Mingle the mixture squashing the eggs into little pieces with a fork.
6. Slice garlic cloves as thinly as possible and add to the mixture
7. Chop the tomato into little piece and add to the mixture
8. Add the spices and salt
9. Mix and let the mixture simmer on for while until it’s viscosity feels right.

Afiyet olsun!
