Ingredients

Yogurt Base

  • 1 cup coconut milk yogurt
  • 1/2 large lemon (juice and zest)
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed into a paste)

Chimichurri

  • 1 small handful fresh mint
  • 1 large handful fresh parsley
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 medium anchovy fillets (I use a variety that is packed in olive oil & parsley)
  • 1/2 medium jalapeño
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • sea salt (to taste)
  • black pepper (to taste)

Spiced Browned Ghee

  • 4 tablespoons ghee (or grass-fed butter)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Poached Eggs

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 splash apple cider vinegar
  1. Make the Yogurt: Stir the yogurt, lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic paste together. Chill until ready to use.
  2. Make the Chimichurri:Place all ingredients, minus the oil, in a food processor or mortar and pestle and combine until minced. Drizzle in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Poach the Eggs: Fill a large deep pot halfway with water and a splash of apple cider vinegar. Bring to a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a shallow dish. With the back of a spoon stir the water until a whirlpool forms gently slide the egg into the center as close to the surface as you can. Poach just until the white is set. Remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining eggs.

  4. Brown the ghee: In a small pot bring the ghee and spices to a bubble. Heat until it starts to turn golden in color.

  5. Assemble:Divide the yogurt between two bowls and top with two eggs each. Drizzle the browned ghee over the eggs and divide the chimichurri between the bowls as well.
