Turkish poached eggs over garlicky strained yogurt with olive oil and pul biber.
About çılbır
Çılbır is a Turkish dish of poached eggs served over garlicky yogurt. This profile follows Özlem Warren's olive-oil version, fixing white wine vinegar for poaching and pul biber for the warm pepper finish.
Cool strained yogurt is creamy and tangy, sharpened by fresh garlic, while soft eggs add mellow richness. Fruity olive oil and pul biber bring warmth and colour, with salt and black pepper keeping the flavours savoury and balanced.
The dish forms a white yogurt bed topped with softly set eggs whose yolks remain golden and fluid. A glossy red-speckled olive-oil dressing pools over the eggs and yogurt.
