Description
Baghali Ghatogh is a beloved Persian dish featuring tender green beans and creamy eggs, seasoned with aromatic herbs and spices. It’s a simple yet flavorful meal that’s perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner or leisurely weekend brunch.
Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 6 large eggs
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
– 1 teaspoon dried dill
– 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Chopped parsley and dill for garnish
Instructions
1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
2. Add the minced garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
3. Add the trimmed and cut green beans to the skillet. Season with turmeric, dried dill, coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the beans.
4. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender but still have a slight bite.
5. Create small wells in the bean mixture and crack the eggs directly into the wells. Cover the skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Garnish the Baghali Ghatogh with chopped parsley and dill. Serve immediately with warm pita bread.
