- 1 handful dill (5 g)
- 400 g Greek or Turkish yogurt (10% fat)
- Salt

1.
Peel and chop the garlic. Wash the dill, shake dry, set aside a few tips and chop the rest. Mix both with yogurt and season with salt and pepper.

2.
Heat butter in a pan. Add chili flakes and paprika powder, sauté over medium heat until the butter turns lightly brown; this takes about 4–5 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

Meanwhile, wash mint, shake dry, set aside some leaves and chop the rest. Mix chopped mint with the pesto.

For the Turkish eggs bring plenty of water with salt and vinegar to a boil. Crack each egg one at a time into a ladle, stir the water into a whirlpool with a spoon, gently slide the eggs into the liquid and let them cook for about 4 minutes over low heat. Lift them out and drain.
